I've been using the power gum rig shown for a while now. Very effective for absorbing the lunges beneath the rod tip. Only down side is the feeder swivel wears the braid l found, so its worth checking every now and then. Also, you attach the hooklength like you do to a dacron connector, l've found that if you want to change the hooklength or shorten it it can be a tad tricky releasing the hooklength loop, it seems to bite in quite tight. I now use the 2 loop method, makes it far easier to take the hooklength off.
Agree with what you say about feeder swivel wearing the braid.....Sort of got around this by using a short shock link one meter'ish and casting of the braid....The two loops on the hook link length(top loop cut) is definitely the way to go...
