I've posted many times about preserving spool depth with braid. My current preference is a speed clip and leaders attached to a split ring. This looks to have a few more feet of service and easier rigging of a slip float without a stop. You'd just clip "up" the leader until cutting into the braid for a new connection. If I had the means; I'd first try slow drifting a glowing grub under a slip bobber at the depth of smelt balls in August...
With my shore bound experience: I'd stick to clips and split rings: Bottom (no roll sinker above it "all" on the braid), slip bobber with varying leader lengths (float above everything like ^^^^bottom) and a couple "free" lure rods. The Boy & I used to hit the Tailrace with six rods and the fighting spirit of the US Marines. (Heartbreak Ridge--Clint Eastwood): Interlocking fields of fire:
We kept legal: One fished bait while the other casted Husky Jerks of various colors/sizes. We had songs in our heads and ate various snack foods. We liked snacks. The 4th/New Year Fish Fry was never lacking. The Butterball Turkey Fryer is not only for "turkey".
That is all:
