Strangely enough, I very rarely use anti- tangle sleeves over the hooklink swivel, and don't often get tangles, although I do use PVA stringers or mesh almost every cast, or a Corn nugget to protect the hook. My rigs haven't changed much over years, and I do try to keep it simple. For goodness knows how many years it was a case of a knotless knotted rig with a line aligner. That was made with braid, coated braid, or as part of a combi-link, although when I moved onto Nazeing I did start fishing with that sliding rig on the shank. The reason for that was so i could: a) change the hair length to suit the fishing. b) have a hair strong enough to combat crays. c) fish a snowman or bottom bait without changing rigs. I have put a picture of that rig above. It works with a snowman, multiple bottom baits or a single, or even as a pop-up rig.

Stick to what you're confident with. Since I've been fishing loads of rigs came into fashion, chod, multi rig, now Ronnie rig. Keep it simple and tangle free and you've got as much chance as the next guy

Just remember that you don't need a right complex rig to catch, copy what you have been catching on and see how your rigs go 😃
