except for the sinker he threads line back through swivel like  dropshot but the sinker is tangling in the car and a lot of times  the leader and sinker line tangle so i am wondering what he can do to reduce the tangles without changing anything he uses 20lb power pro

Cut off when storing, tie up when fishing.

Quit dicking around with that sorta nonsense and do some actual fishing

hey this isn’t my rig its the guy i fish with i use a wacky worm 

The tangles are secondary to the main problem that the rig is way over complicated.  There's no reason to use a clip and a second swivel to attach the leader/hook.  Just tie direct to a a triple swivel and you'll save a lot of unnecessary hardware.  The second clip for the weight can be eliminated with a dropper or loop knot.

@Esox pro, how does he do with that?   I've considered breaking out a walleye bottom bouncer and trying it for bass, but never get around to it....that looks somewhat similar
