5-6 ft off the bottom easiest way to make a loop is a double surgeon loop 6-8-12 in. loop
Google and watch YouTube to learn your knots
I will follow up with live bait rig and halibut rig.

Its double surgeon loop and not knot.
With the John Collins knot instead of using a swivel
You can wind the knot thru the pole guides make it easier to gaff big YT

I don't use a trap rig 2hooks for live sardines only mackerel. Best way to fish sardines is Carolina rig.
I like the Snell knot on first hook and improved clinch knot on second treble hook. Three way swivel hold every thing straight but I don't think there as strong as using two separate swivels with a sliding 6oz torpedo wt
