I fish fluorocarbon mainline as I have seen fish spook off tight lines, so tend to fish slack to the lead... Generally I prefer a helicopter set up as it allows me to use a chord set up short to the deck, as a change up I then sometimes switch to a stiff boom iq2 bottom / snowman d rig with a kicker.. because I use a Flexi qwik change ring swivel i use a korda line saver bead as the bottom bead and a tungsten sinker and 5mm rubber bead at top. This allows me to use a chord set up, but quickly change to a naked helicopter.. does anyone think because it's naked it could be prone to tangles.. I have the stiff boom and kicker for resetting on aborted pickups. Plus I can slide the beads right down to my light lead and fish a bottom bait set up..opinions ?
