Egg sinkers on the line work fine if you're in relatively shallow water with little current. IN deeper water rips three waying is the way to go. You start with a 3 way swivel, tie the top eye to the line. Use a 2 foot peice of 10 pound test on the bottom eye and tie a sinker loop. on the thrid eye use at least a 4 foot leader (six is better) and tie your hook on the end. Add lead as necessary to hold bottom. This is trhe tried and true rig used to fish in the rips between block island and montauk, where the current screams.
