thanks for the quick reply nick but actually i dont think i explained myself very well . the helicopter set up with leader and lead isnt my problem its the actual hooklink itself and how to attach it to the leader/leadcore . all the pictures and diagrams i`ve ever come across of SILT rigs have the hooklink moving along said leader (between the beads obviously) attached by a swivel with a LARGE ring , obviously to allow the hooklink to move freely . my problem is when i want to replace the hooklink , say after catching , to save undoing the whole set-up and start from scratch i`ve been using one of those quick link type swivels to quickly change hooklinks . now , will the rig still work as it should or do you think i should be using something else cos i`ve been using `em to quickly change my bottom bait hooklinks for years ? will using a quick change swivel affect the mechanics of the rig in any way ? is there a recommended easy-to-change swivel that other people use ?

evening gents . hope you dont mind me whizzing this thread back up to the top . i`ve been looking through the search facility and this one , although it concerns heli rigs/chods , it does seem the appropriate one on which to ask the question so here goes....... when attaching the hooklink to the leader or leadcore etc , it usually involves a large ringed swivel . in order to quickly change hooklinks , how would a quick link swivel affects the dynamics of the rig , choddies in particular ? what do everybody else use/ recommend ?

i know somebody once who caught using a cigarette butt on a size 16
