Is there a non-twisting surf rig technique

I was on the beach, just after sunrise by Jenkinson’s on the NJ shore at sunrise this past Sunday after watching the meteor shower. High tide was at 9:40am, the surf said “stripers”, but there was no bait and thus no stripers.
Even if they were there, my store-bought rig was a mess. Off a 3 way, I had 4oz. on a 1 foot segment, and then about 2 feet for the hook with a sliding float. It got so %#$@&*&%$#% twisted…(above the rig was a wire leader with swivels on top and bottom)
Any solutions.

Tight lines at sea, screamin kids at home!

WOW Thor…U da man! Can I come fish with you?

I get twist problems too. I guess it’s just part of the game sometimes. You’re suggestions are good. Retrieve speed and sinker type play a major roll. I think that a bait that spins too much on the hook is also a problem.

this is a California Stripe Bass picture I found…
on a fly in the delta it said…
I think in the salt, they go much bigger than this one.
