Gemini splash downs work well, used them on the beach, not sure how they'd be with small hooks but very effective & reliable.

Back in the day, my memories fading, but was it Frank Warrick (or rumoured to be) who used sea fishing bait shields on helicopter rigs to streamline the bait/baits?
I remember dabbling with them, tying the hooklink to the leader (so much for helicopter) along with a stringer behind the shield.

I'm surprised that carp fishing hasn't taken a leaf out of the sea anglers book when it comes to distance fishing.

In practice, could/would pulley rigs incorporating splashdown/gemini arc leads be a more streamline alternative to helicopter rigs? or will having (essentially) a three foot hooklink put people off? It could even be a way of presenting zig rigs...
