[black][size 3]Check out Robbie's first link for photos of some great examples of rigging (in his post directly above this post).[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Here are a few examples of my river/current slip rigs as well. In this photo the third rig from the left is one that I use for very snaggy or high current situations. The shorter the leader, the less the bait moves in the current and the less likely it will snag up.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Here are a couple of the break-away rigs that I use. The top one in the next photo is a flat current sinker tied to the main line with a light 6-8 pound test mono line (you can use lighter line depending on conditions and the weight of your sinker). Notice that I use a regular swivel (instead of a three-way) to attach the dropper line with the breakaway sinker - that way the set-up is still a slip sinker rig. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]The bottom one uses a very small snap swivel attached to a rubber band that is wrapped around a rock (in case you find sacrificing costly lead sinkers too painful) - the rubber band breaks when the rock is snagged.[/size][/black]
