Mainline -> BeadChain -> leader + sinker -> swivel -> Hook Leader
But coming off this beadchain & Swivel thing is another hook leader
I know I could have used a 3 way swivel but was hoping the bead chain could help with twist for plunking with 6-8oz sinker

What is the purpose of the bead chain? Why not just run a two way ball bearing swivel instead?
You mention a 3 way so does that mean your leader with the sinker is on a separate line from the hook?
Why?
With how flimsy bead chains are, I would not use them for anything fishing related
I have never seen a bead chain that didn’t immediately break under the lightest load. Unless these are fishing specific with a break strength rating I wouldn’t bother.
Bead chains for necklaces and cheap jewelry are not remotely in the same league as the ones sold for fishing. You can get bead chain with higher rate strength than some swivels of comparable physical dimensions.
That being said, what is the purpose for this particular rig? What is the need for a swivels on the 3rd leg? Seems to be a decent snap around the bead chain would work though.
Thanks input all.
I was following something from addicted fishing. The more I try their ideas, the more I realize community thinks their ideas are shit 😂
