Right,Daniel,having shot along a longish hook length seems iffy to me,firstly it weakens the lighter line,secondly you have no definite datum to return to and as shotting can be so critical that is important,likewise in trotter2's case imo 6" is too close to put a shot for trotting( again imo),so then tell tale shot would have to be at least 2" ,maybe 12" higher, again leaving no definite datum/return to point,something I swear by,dust shot move easily,incredible how many ways we can do the self same thing,lol....
As an aside I use shot/stotz down to number 12's regularly...
