You could try a rotten bottem if fishing heavy kelpy gound or rocks marks. at least you only loose your weight.plain leads aswel use them.or you could just use a simple paternoster rig only need treble swivle and you trace line so even if you do lose themits not costing you a load every time you lose a rig.

Plus you wont need a clipped down rig as distance casting is not needed. use 50-60lb line on your
reel this will help when pulling out of snags.

Hope this helps

Try using jelly worms thy work well different colours work better in different conditions.firetail jellyworms work well. nice slow and steady retrieve tho for pollock. its just finding the depths there at when fishing for them.you could float fish for them set your trace to the bottom then just move it up until you hit the fish m8.
