The hook leader slides up and down the line on a swivel? Maybe with a bead placed just above the knot that attaches the sinker? When bringing the fish in, the whole weight of the fish is pushing up against the sinker knot?

If the sinker knot breaks, then the hooked fish will just slide off the end of the line....

Hasn't been a problem so far... no different to the weight being on the hook knot. I use those big beads I showed you at high park this week. I'm using 1 oz flat disc weights which have the loop on the top to tie onto.

My only issue so far has been fish breaking off by going around the pier legs or disgorging the hook using the metal rim off the drop net.
