cable car trace...check it,may not be right for your mark or ground.
good for joey macks,n live lug and rag..balls of them like.

Hi Ray, I used to use this one from a boat, http://www.planetseafishing.com/rigs/Portland-Rig/. I like it because the fish can swim about with the sliding snood but I am not sure about shore rigs for live bait as I dont know about casting live bait. I guess it will work pretty much the same. Or else theres float fishing with a live bait, just a basic float setup with a 1oz ball lead down to a swivel with your snood about 30+ inches.
Species 2012:

Cod, Whiting, flounder, coalfish, bass, pollack, sea trout, poor cod, pouting, dogfish, sea scorpion, 3 bearded rockling, blonde ray, painted ray, turbot.

I am not familiar with " cable car " and can't find it on google but one method from the shore is to cast out just a weight on the mainline then clip your snood & livebaited hook onto it --- so the fish slides down the line . Like that Portland rig but with a clip swivel on the snood and without the beads on the mainline .
I personally don't like the idea of live baiting but good luck if you must :wink:

i think it works well cause essentially your not casting a live bait,just your gripper then clipping on the snood baited and all and just leaving it fall into the tide...
