Owner 4/0 or 5/0 octopus black chrome SSW... Strong and sharp! No wire hooks here for sure, they straighten out too easily...

I couldn't imagine not using a breakaway on the weight no matter what rig you use. Is that not a popular practice? I always double loop a weaker line and use that to attach my weight. If i hook a nice fish and the sinker is caught, I want it to pop off immediately. plus if i snag and can't get it out all i need to replace is the sinker and breakaway rig (which you can have a bunch pre-tied) and not the hook (usually).
anyone ever try a drop shot style rig for tog? might give better feel on the fish since you'd be directly connected to the hook first in line and you could keep the crab at a controlled distance from the bottom no matter the current. If i'm out there and the rig bite is better than the jig bite one day, hasn't happened yet for me i'll try the drop shot rig and let you know.

Sinkers are the most costly part of the rig so for me, not going to hope to loose a sinker to save a hook but that's me. I also want my rigs to be as quick and easy as possible to tie especially when it's real cold and I would rather not have to mess with different mono for the sinker.
