Rather than having to tie to a swivel, then tie a leader to a swivel, then tie the leader to the hook (already I'm getting tired), you simple tie to the hook. Here's how it works...
To put a Carolina Keeper on your line you simply squeeze the Carolina Keeper with needle-nose pliers. It has a slit that opens when squeezed and you place the line through the hole and release the pliers. Use the same method to adjust the leader length. Pretty tough, huh?
The Carolina Keeper is great for use with sliding sinkers because it eliminates the need for split shot or swivels to keep your sinker above the bait. The Keeper can be easily adjusted up or down the line to change your leader length. You can easily make adjustments without having to change the whole rig. If it slips or if you are using a larger weight, adding a second keeper will keep the weight in place.[inline Carolina%20Keepers%202.jpg]
