I use something a little different. Mymain line is20/6 spider wire, I put one snap swivel on the line, then tie another one with a uni knot, then a 24 to 36 flory leader, my bait is the long leader, on the loose swivel, i tie about 8 inches of 8 lb mono, and the cheapest sinkers I can but usually 1/2 ounce and up. The fish wont fewel the bait because it just pulls awy, because the sinker is no cause for drag, this works great in open water, dont use it much in brush , and in some case a small carolina float will go on in front of my bait.
