My search for sliding rigs brought me to this video:

Tried it for the first time this past weekend targeting Halibut in Dana Point with 1/0 octopus and 1/0 nautilus circle. Didn't hookup with any halibut but my son hooked up with a couple leopard sharks. Both times he got broken off at the end of the leader (20# fluoro). I'm guessing either the shark bit off (since only 20#) or the sliding hook (tied with 30# braid) contributed or was the cause of the break off.

Do you guys think it's better to not use sliding rigs and have some extra slack between hooks (if bait smaller)? What's preferred or the lesser evil of the two choices (?) I guess you could tie on the water, but I preferred to rig up night before. Often times I get a little sea sick tying stuff on the water.
