I'm not saying it is the only way to go, but I always use a Running lead set-up, and nearly always use a combi-rig at the moment. You may find my set-up on one of these threads below, plus a few more combi rig pics.

Thanks, lots of diff ways to show the combi ,so the running rig is the way to go (buffer bead and all that) will have a go , going to fish it snowman style on 2 rods and a pop up on the other i know some people or i have heard some people fish it heli style ??

I use snowman baits on it almost all of the time.

 

With a pop-up, I'm not sure how you would get your supple section to the exact height you needed it if you have to chop and change to get it exactly right. Be a lot of tied up rigs with different supple section lengths!

 

 

 

I'm not saying this is the only knot to use with Combi-rigs, as the Albright knot works, but I can tie this up easily without thinking, and it works also as a good knot for shockleaders:

Tie an overhand knot in the stiff material, but don't pull it tight

 

Push the supple braid through the knot, and then tie a Uni knot

 

Lubricate the 2 knots and gradually pull tight being careful not to pull the braid back through the overhand knot.

 

For my own confidence I lighter blob the tag ends of the knots.

 

It may be worth checking that this can can be used with a fluorocarbon if you use it for the stiff section.
