Split backstay and spin rigging pics....

Having sailed the boat, I am now far more aware of the importance of weight placement/movement on my WKSR. As such, I would like to run a split backstay, adjustable from just in front of the stock traveler location; pics and suggestions welcome. Additionally, any photos or suggestions for rigging the symmetrical spinnaker would be appreciated. Are most going with tweakers and a pole downhaul?

Thanks in advance

Here are some pics of the setup I have on Fandango. I installed fairleads on the deck about 6 inches aft of the shroud chainplates with a Harken microcam cleats on each side of the cabin for the tweaker controls. For dead downwind the guy tweaker is hard on while the sheet tweaker is full off and just rides. I don't normally use a downhaul unless I have to reach. On "Guy In" image I am at my max without a downhaul.
