Hi. I'm looking for opinion, of ye lads. Is this really works? if so how to attached lifts to trace body, by some links, or directly to the line, using knots?

thanks for any advice.

They do work and they attach to the lead sinker not directly to the trace body.

I think BreakAway do them ?

the lead lifts can be a good job alright but there are leads with a built in vain [lead lift ]in them made by breakaway i think.a quick tetrieve reel like the penn 525 mag you have will also do the job ,when you start to reel in keep it going dont stop till the gear in out of the water.
