1) Protect the lure
Large soft lures, from 15 to 25 and even 30 centimetres, are not cheap and you want to catch as many fish as possible with them before you have to throw them away. Shallow rigging greatly increases the lifespan of soft lures.
Thanks to the hook attachment which disengages from the lure when a fish grabs it, the soft lure stays away from pike teeth or tears that a lead head could cause.
2) Evolve at any depth
One of the big revolutions brought about by this rig is the ability to make a lure swim without casting. Until now, this possibility was essentially reserved for the Texan weightless rig. Now it's possible to swim soft lures at depths of 10 to 30 centimetres, while still having a good armament.
Of course, you can also use screw heads or clip sinkers to increase the swimming depth of your lures. In this way, you can make the same lure swim at depths ranging from ten centimetres to ten metres.
3) Stall less
The rolling swivels on this rig allow the fish to turn 360 degrees. What's more, as the rig detaches from the lure, the fish can't lean on it to unhook.
The fish only has a hook in its mouth, so without a lure it's less likely to unhook.
4) Save money
In fact, the shallow rig is the equivalent of lures like the Magdraft or Dunkle. However, once these lures are unusable, they go into the trash and their frame is not reusable. With a shallow rig, only the soft lure is irretrievable, and all you have to do is put a new one on the rig you're keeping.
What's more, if you make your own frames, in the long run this technique is quite economical.
