On a ' typical ' Carolina Rig you have 2 sections of line. ( Your main line and your leader attached to a swivel. )
I have been useing a product called ' THE CAROLINA KEEPER '

I feel the advantage for this is, it allows you to adjust the ' leader ' size without haveing to cut the ' leader ' and adding a longer or shorter piece. Just use plyers and squeeze the ' keeper ' to slide it up or down the line.
I would think the disadvantage would be if you was to hang it up, you dont have a ' weaker ' line to break off only at the leader.
One other thing I learned about the ' keeper ' it realy depends on the size of your weight you are useing. A heavier weight will need two (2) ' keepers ' or it will slide.
