A) Normal set of float and weights/shot set say 3/4 of the way down and then your hook on the end.
B) Float set and all your weights/shot at the bottom, your hook length attach via a loop in the main line say half way between your weights and float and the hook hangs below your weight/shot say by 6 inches.
Calling the amount of pull required to pull the float under X, would the amount of X be greater, smaller or the same for A or B.
I call this a paternoster set up and given the inertia of the weights in B and the buoyancy of the float in A and B, well I just cannot figure it out.
