This is what I found....

The Pompano Rig is tied on 25 lb. monofilament with gold plated wide gap #2 hooks. Each hook is highlighted with a red bead. The top of the rig has a #7 black swivel and the bottom has a #3 black snap for sinker attachment.

When I tay my rigs, the whole thing is usually about 3 to 3.5 feet long.  First hook is about 8 - 12 inches down........second is a bout 8 - 12 inches from the bottom.  Leaving a little over a foot in between the loops.  You can make them longer depending on water depth.  I've actually made some that were 5' long just experimenting. As far as the loops.......mine are usually 2-3 inches long

This is what has worked for me.  J-purdy is the master and would be able to give you more tips.

Thanks for the post mehill. Konz, will try your set up as I have been wanting to start tieing my own rigs using fluorocarbon. I need all the help I can get. Do you all think  10# fluoro is enough?

Use the floats and/or beads in cloudy water.....less so in clear water.  Again this is just my opinion.
