Rotten bottom alternatives?

[regpude]

I currently use something similar to a tronix rotten bottom ( looks like a lower case g ) but with my leads im finding the eye on the lead is fairly small causing very few releases from the clip resulting in losing everything when rough grounding.

Does anyone use or recommend an alternative?

this may sound daft,and works,{NOT A WIND UP]couple of years ago fished st, andrews area while on holiday, SO forgot my leads, rather than buy them,{make my own] went fishing skiers area only lobbing it 10 15 yards,useing the dogs SCOOP BAGS, iput couple of stones in bag @ twisted it onto trace lobbed in no problem,ps you could also fill bags with sand. mind you doubt this method would work at much more distance but ideal for lobbing. tight lines. take the p if you want,saved my holiday and i also had some nice red cod up to 5lb.

seen people use bags wth sand in them for wieghts ,i used to use chain links also seen people use handlines off the beach before and caught cod.

I build my own rotten bottoms and they've never failed me yet. Release every chuck and doesn't cost a penny to make.

Upside down bait clip works every time 10lb line in really heavy gear 40lb hook lengths 80lb rig body pulls the plug out lol but the upside down bait clips stay clipped even when power casting and I don't think I have had one not release
