Do they come in a heavy enough weight to get a large bait down deep? I suppose your line ties on the bend in the rig and then you're supposed to hook your trailer rig with hook on the snap swivel? I'd like the looks of the thing better if the swivel were a plain barrel type instead of a snap. Do they have split rings that would allow for replacement of the snap with a plain barrel swivel? The swivels do look like ball bearing, good quality swivels... snaps scare me when fish larger than 10 pounds are involved.
To answer your original question... no, I've never used them, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to try them.... I haven't done any real drift fishing in a long time, and back then it was a controlled "back troll" and drift along a line of markers we put out on a ledge for suspended crappies in the late part of the year. We caught hybrids (striper/white bass cross) and crappies by drifting the ledge... trolling back to the first marker and drifting back again.. We used a bottom rig with two baits on it that was counted down to a specific (relatively speaking) depth. If the bait hit bottom, I would generally pick it up a turn of the reel handle to get it back in the spot I wanted it.
Let us know how those rigs work out for you. As long as the drift is a consistant speed, I bet they'll work nicely...
