I'm new to blackfishing over the past two seasons, but there is one thing i do that i don't see mentioned sometimes. Instead of just attaching the weight to the rig I make a double loop with 20lbs line and loop one end to the rig and one end to the sinker, like a break away.

so basically if the weight is caught when a tog strikes you snap the sinker off when you set the hook and just fight the fish. You will lose more sinkers for sure but I know this season we saved our selves at least a handful of nice fish that may not have been landed if we had to fight the tog and a snag at the same time, hoping the snag comes loose before the donkey tog!
