Do any of you  use some thing to stop the slide of the pencil lead ? or do you just let it slide up and down ?

I see some that make the pencil lead "fixed position" on the main line , is this better ?

There are numerous ways of rigging a pencil lead. Surgical tubing, snap swivels, sliding, etc. Personal preference.

I make my own slinkies out of parachute cord and shot.  I push the snap part of a snap swivel through one end of the slinkie.  run your mainline through the end that you usually tie onto so the slinkie can slide up and down your main line between your leader and float.  cushion your knots with a bead and you're good to go.

I use spilt shots, cause they are easy to use, and dont waste alot of time, if you want to put more weight on:)

There's no parachute store at my local mall.

Where do I buy a parachute?

split shots work great crimped directly to a 4/0 treble.  Get hook ups all the time

You must fish with BigSteel then

rubber tubing at the end of the main line at the swivel is enough keep your weight from sliding.
