there used to be some weed effect braid hook lenght material think it began with M looking to buy
thanks
 
found it and put and order in mosquito angling mimicker hooklink looking foward to using it on the Dove
 
Any brand of green coloured braid can easily resemble streamer weed. Strip the coating and it will move a bit like weed too.
I use green a lot.

12lb tribal shimano main line for Dove and nash armourlink 20/25lb to a small ring swivel so i can change hook quickly if blunts or if i want to change hook size or bait have these made up in rig box to a fout turn grinner .

Not got no pictures I'm afraid. Very similar to yours with the small swivel but I also have an inch piece off tungstone rig tube I slide over the swivel to help pin the bait to the deck, but I have braid to my hook (about 2"")and fluorocarbon to a loop which goes on a quick link swivel.
