The main reason I have stuck to this rig is because of the constant tension I get from the weights to the indicator- every rock I bounce across tics the indictor! That's called knowing what my line from the indicator down is doing.
I, Personally feel that more fish are missed due to never detecting the stike- if I have to set the hook- and I'm not talking BASS MASTER's hook sets- 80 times and only catch 20 fish....at least I didn't miss one that I didn't detect because of slack line behind my weight.
That's my personal feelings, and I didn't give everything away on how my rig is set up- I have a secret or two about it that I didn't mention.
Edit- As for my indicator depth, I've found that when the water deepens it also slows when on the edge of the current-"the feed zone"- so if the most instant angle of hit detection being 45 degrees, straight below the indicator, the less angle you have from there, the more strikes you will detect?
There is NO WRONG way to fish! Just get out and do it! Have fun and FISH GOD's willing, catch a few.
