Nothing is tight or locked up.
I try and use a stone I pick up off the bank, it not the smallest weight I use is a 6mm hex nut, or 1oz bomb. the largest just under 2oz.
I just use enough tension for the float to lay at 45degrees and hold the line under a rubber band or 1" O ring.
My aim is to be as natural as possible which is why I only use a single BB swivel on the trace and a tiny two hole Roberts bead for the pat link, weights are attached using a snare of a 2" loop tied in the light mono.
I only use 4" poly sea floats* because are cheap, almost indestructible and last forever.
* the floats with the tube that extends above and below the body.

Re: paternoster rigs ?
Found the JR pat booms will tangle on occasion, and too many times for me .....simple is best and more or less tangle free , tie the link to your trace a few inches above the top hook = sorted .

.
Sorry if I did not make my set-up clear.
The JR bead is free to slide between the swivel and the bottom of the float.
The float is free sliding above the JR bead up to the stop knot/float stop setting the depth of the rig. I sometimes use another stop below the float to limit the movement of the bait or retain the float should the line break.
My trace is homemade from Masons 45lb wire and 3ft long, my reel line is 60lb Spiderwire braid. Do not use an uptrace.
FYI I started fishing baits in 1960/61 and have only ever had one bite-off.
Hope this helps.
Any problems comeback

Its simple, tangle proof, as bite off proof as you are going to get, and very effective for deads, lives, still or running water.
Any other paternoster rig I have I ever seen just designs in risk of tangles and bite off's and then add more bits to try to get over the problem it created for itself.

You cast a paternoster out, tighten up to the float and set the indicator. Simple.
The line from rod tip to trace and the paternoster link to the lead will be at an angle with the bait hanging down and slightly away from the paternoster link.
The only thing I do differently is use a cigar shaped sunken float, I've feel you can get away with a bigger float without making the rig seem a bit sea-fishing like. I don't remember many, if any tangles with this rig and using a stiffer, heavier grade (I preferred titanium) up-trace, I certainly don't recall any bite offs.
My first choice livey rig forbank fishing in the Lakes (when you could still use livies) was the SFP. I tied the pat link to the top hook (as I always do for pat rigs) and used a 1.75in poly ball as the float. Set thefloat high enough to keep line off any marginal ledge and deep enough to avoid wave action.

caught more pike this season than any before probably over 100 by now.... caught s**t loads on the dyson and some good perch too
think the numbers reflect me fishing local...... mainly small pike to 17lb but a lot of them this season
normally i would be travelling about after the bigger fish ,,,but less of them

Re: paternoster rigs ?
Much same Stubbo.... You can only catch what's there is the phrase!!
I have been fishing local pits with many more days fished than I normally would and missing the better waters I travel to. It was great to get out of the house though and without it I would have been climbing the walls!! I caught over 150 fish with 60 plus doubles but a 15lb fish was rare! No twentys for the first season in many!
Local pits seem to be all full of the dreaded silk weed. Been using the (neglected for donkeys years by me), Dyson / CD rig with deads over the weed all winter on one rod. It often out fishes popped up baits and I think it is mostly due to the fact that I didn't see anyone else using it. in a decent wind though.... I still reverted to the surface float pat rig which bounces the dead a bit.
One thing I have found.... Possibly common knowledge to regular users but..... A bigger sub float and lead works better for bite indication giving a better pivot point.

I just wanted to illustrate that the SFP, as such, is a very much older pike rig than many might think.

For me pointless as a deadbait rig,but livebaits a must,if using a big livebait use the bigger float and use a heavier lead so it all keeps in place..

Personally don't see the point of using deadbait on a paternoster when you could use a simple ledger rig popped up..surely this rig was made with livebait in mind

Also if you were fishing in 10ft of water and wanted the bait 3 or 4ft off the bottom you wouldn't pop it up that far, if for no other reason you'd potentially get very poor bite indication..surely this rig was made with livebait in mind

Also popped up a trace length doesn’t work when there’s 2 ft + of silk weed on the bottom so a sunken float paternoster is necessary. Personally had too many tangles with JR booms so tie the lead trace to the hook trace . Or have a swivel free running on wire uptrace to which I attach the lead trace. Both approaches seem to largely avoid tangles.

The take was unmissable and the hook placement consistently in the scissors,possibly hooked using the bolt effect.only thing i can add, is that i find with a pat rig, specially with a livebait, i like to use a 3oz lead min, i find they often hook themselves this way
