I've combed through a bunch of threads and haven't been able to find anything on how guys rig the bead chain to a crescent sinker. All of the bead chain swivels I've seen come with solid rings on each end. If the crescent sinker is also solid are you using a split ring to connect the two? Any other information/tips about rigging for salmon mooching is also appreciated. Trying to get versed before it heats up. Thanks!

I make them in 8oz, 10 oz, and 12oz.  You can find them at lots of tackle shops or online.

I can’t think of any other way to attach them than a split ring but yeah clips and rings tend to have a negative effect on spinning and rotation, in general in my experience . I wish I had a source for good ones.

Wouldn't a ball bearing swivel do the job?
