I cannot find an easy way to set IK on my bones so my lead bends nicely

 I can select all and set limits in edit mode and all have locked transforms and scale with rotations limited to -45 to 45 degrees but it is still very kinky

my presaved exported to Poser Carrara animation shows what I want, I just did ball joints on children there

 

I need smaller limits and smoothing with the weightbrush on each bone
now it works lovely
