How do you trap rig? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The problem with adjustable trap rigs is that you will have to reset your bait after every swing and miss. The tendency of the hooks to get too close together (and horse-shoe your bait) gets pretty frustrating.

I have never found any 3-way swivels that I like very much, so I made my own. I am using 3 barrel swivels and a split ring right now and am pretty happy with that.
