Niko, which one you have? It seems X Tool is no longer a going concern.... I'd like to try it. Even thinking of making up a few for The Boat Shop, our local tackle shop. Bait is like firewood...the less I have to handle it, the better

I've got the X tools one... IMHO, it isn't worth a plug nickel |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

I'm kind of surprised that more guys here don't like them. I find them to be easy and the best part is that you don't have to handle the bait - something that is really useful if you happen to be catching harbor pollack for use as live bait. I will say that if I'm looking for live bait and I'm into the mackerel thick, I will switch over to a barbless mackerel rig. I tie all of my own rigs, too. Each dropper is silver flash material tied on with red thread. The rig itself is 60lb mono with a 4-5 ounce jig and heavy hardware on either end. Assuming that I don't get snagged on the bottom, one rig will last me almost the entire season and they will out fish sabikis every day.

They work but I hate them. They seem to reach out and get caught on everything.
