I was making some inline spinners one day and got the idea of a C-Rig - Rig, so I twisted up some wire:

I liked it so now I want to make some brass with glass beads in different weights.

I make my own rigs too. I use two swivels, a glass bead on back, plastic bead up front (to protect the knot), weight, and 17lb Iron Silk to connect it all. It's about 3" total. 

I get hung up a lot less.

Sahweeeeet! Great rig bud, way to think outside the box. How's the knot strength? I've never used the iron silk material? 

Sorry, not to sound dumb?

I use a 12lb CXX leader and the leader breaks most the time, so the knots are strong enough to hold that.

You could use any kind of line you want. Big Game and CXX would be abrasion resistant enough. 

This just starts your line trajectory up a few inches before and it's flexible so it can maneuver a little better too. It's not snag proof, but it does make a very noticeable difference when you are fishing a deep rocky bottom and need serious weight. 

I use a 3/16 oz tungsten bullet weight, a bobber stop, and a 3/0 hook with random plastics. I keep the distance between the weight and my hook around 1ft for better casting distance, no swivel, 10lb fluoro.

If I use a C-rig, it's with a glass bead.
