How to make bottom/trolley rig

[Produkt]

I notice that a certain bottom rig system is frequently used at DFP. Alternatively, it can be used as a trolley rig setup if you leave off the line connecting to the hook. Someone showed me how to make it once while I was out there, but I can't figure out how to do it again. It's difficult to explain in words so I drew a graphic to help. Basically what I want to know is, what knot/technique is recommended for component?

A. The line connecting your rod/reel to the first part of the rig. What knot is best?
B. The two red circles indicate beads. What is the method for tying the beads and the two swivels together? (The swivels are the black circles with the two loops on the end)
C. This the knot tying your swivel to the line that your hooks are tied to. Recommendations?
D. Finally, this is the line connected to your sinker. It's a loop that has two loose ends tied around a swivel. How do I make this?

I know this is lengthy but I appreciate any help that you guys can offer. Thanks!

On second thought, I think A and B might just be one single knot, tied at the B location...thanks again for any help

Tie the leader and hook to D and attach the pyramid sinker to swivle A with a snap swivle no line and a bead to seperate the knot and the snap swivle from the swivle attached to leader. This could be done with a uni to uni and eleminate one swivle. I use this to cast, not trolley. You got a bottom rig backwards

The main line floats free through the swivel attached to the pyramid. Nothing wrong there.

What do you mean the main line floats free through the swivel? You put your main line through both eyes of the swivel?

The swivle with the leader and hook slides freely up and down the main line, like an egg sinker would on a fish finder rig.

I don't want a fishfinder rig/a rig in which the weight is free moving. In the setup I drew, all parts are static and are tied into place. When the fish hits, the weight goes with it.

Well a trolley rig has a sliding snap swivel which is also not exactly what I meant. Sorry I didn't explain it properly but I included another picture to clarify. The blue line is the main line, which goes through the eye of the first swivel, through the beads, and is tied to the swivel that leads to the hook, at E. Does that make more sense? I'm pretty sure that's how I saw most of the pros out on the pier tying their bottom rigs.

Whoops, I'm an idiot. For some reason I thought the sinker wasn't supposed to slide around, I guess I was mistaken.

Ok so now that im awake and havn't been drinking and re examined the photo thats right for a fishfinder style rig. I thought the main line was attached to the sinker with the leader free running up and down main line. The sinker should be sliding and the leader attached to the main line.

No no no

Main line to swivel to leader. A swivel with a bead before the swivel of main line to leader.

In my setup the pyramid stays and the line with hook can be pulled by the fish.

BTW that is more like the fishfinder

Why would you have the line to hook go free up and down Boca?

Here a pic i just made. Forget about the knots it is just for illustration

Thats what I was trying to say!!!!!
