I just made this rig  out  of 12lb mono  using a drop loop knot, a sleeve  and  these glass beads  I had laying around.  They are a mix  of  black and yellow.... using  4 oz.  "safety yellow" pyramid  sinker  Also I'm trying two, three different kinds  of circle  hooks...  .  I have  khale  hooks and other kinds  of small hooks  here and there there  that I can switch around if I have to.   Will post a report in the AM. Hope it works

My only concern would be the sleeve(visibility).  Other than that it seems like it'll work.

Yup, omit the sleeves. I always paint my Pomp weights white.

I am still pretty new at this and use regular J hooks.  Should I be using the circle hooks?

Hell, paint the sleeves orange like flea eggs.

See what happens.

If people can catch them on those Marathon rigs, anything is possible.

It's your future

Great idea for painting the weights white, does it make a very big difference in the catch rate. I guess I mean if the beach had others on it in your area, do they have worse luck and wonder what you are doing differently because they aren't catching any?
