Livelining Scup rigging

[bassballer]

Any of you guys livelining scup? If so are using a 3-way rig on these or just leader and hook and letting him free swim? Maybe an egg sinker set up instead of the 3 way? Just curious what you guys are doing.

I use a swivel from braid to a foot of 60lb flouro with an egg to swivel with 6' of 60lb flouro to a circle Hook. I drill out each end of the egg a bit so it's not pounding the knot. It's two extra knots but I don't like the egg on the braid.

Size of egg, leader and hook based on situation. Obviously, this is for drifting in the rips/holes from the boat...

this is what I was thinking. See alot of guys going with the 3way though. I use the egg set up for eels.

The only time I three way (while fishing) is with eels in the ditch. I use 20lb mono from the three way to the sinker.

I've had the sinker get caught up and break off while fighting fish. Lost the sinker but not the fish...
