Hey rat.....just curious.....is there any bennefit to crimping below the hooks other than the beads? I was thinkin tying the hooks in like you normally would on a drop-shot rig with a polymar knot and let the bead slide down on top of the hook. One thing I do see if it is an advantage is that by crimping the hook it can swivel freely on the line, but if I put a swivel at the top like a drop shot rig , that should take care of the twisting problem. Like I said was just curious. Thanks, Wiley
