I know it seemed like a silly question but the reason i asked was because normally when i cast these rigs i feather the cast so the hooklink kicks straight from the lead. I was just thinking with the boat, that it dumps the whole lot straight from the hopper with the reduced velocity as what a cast would hence my question about tangles. Ok it seems that most people here have used a running rig in a boat and had no problems. I have been stuck in old ways using the lead clip set up and now the fish are definately getting a bit riggy on my lake so i thought a running lead in conjunction with slack lines might increase my chances.
In relation to the actual running rig itself are you guys fishing shocker style with a stop bead or true running rig style?
