    dropshot

    From the album: moss lake

    this bogger fought hard and was in a bout 3 ft of water
  5. I have tried for the longest to catch a fish on a dropshot. I was casting around on a riff raff covered bank and I noticed the water was very dirty. I thought the fish might be close to the cover so I pitched to a dock. As it was falling I felt a tick, not paying attention I thought I had landed on the bottom. I started to work the bait and I felt a pull. I went to pull into him and he had set himself the drag started screaming, im so glad to catch this fish. It helped me gain alot of confidence in the dropshot.
  6. I think ill pass lol
  7. I was looking for those Shimano boxes no wonder I couldn't find them lol and how many can you fit in a Plano 3740 box
  8. Thanks for that i will look into that and the suspend dots how do you guys store your jerkbaits
  9. Did you have to modify it?
  10. Im new to jerkbaits I picked up a few of these to try out im going to throw them on spinning tackle. I was wondering if anyone had experience with them, did they perform well, did you have teak them if so what did you do?
  11. What would you guys recommend for a spinning set up
  12. one more thing I forgot to mention its a spinning set up
  13. I was hoping to use it for those purposes I think the rod has enough backbone for but also limber enough for a dropshot and wack rigs
  14. The reel is an Abu Garcia
  15. •7'0" 24-ton graphite medium action 1-piece rod •Stainless steel guides with oxide inserts •5:1:1 gear ratio with 6 ballbearings seems like a moderate action
  16. I recently purchased the hank parker set up from WalMart I was looking for a use for it. I was wondering if it would be better suited for moving baits or for a shakey head or dropshot setup. If there is anyone who has gotten it what do you use it for
  17. I have been unlucky with the dropshot I began fishing it about a month ago. The area I fish I surrounded with riff raff and if I fish it too slow I lose weights or the whole rig. I try to fish it as slowly as possible I am using a variety of finesse worms and the zoom tiny fluke and regular fluke in smoking shad and albino. I have no idea why I am not catching fish.
  18. I use a eagle claw hook sharpner works just fine for me.
  19. thats true Im not looking to horse them the taper is moderate. It will give them time to load up. I should be alright I fish for Spotted bass with the occasional lmb in the mix at the lake so we will see how it works out.
  20. I have a berkley cherrywood 6'6" medium light I was wondering would this be adequate for a dropshot set up. I see where alot of people in videos use from 6'10" to 7'3" medium light. I was wondering would my rod be long enough or have enough backbone for a good size fish.
  21. I will look into the hippy jigs as well I didn't know they had hair as well
  22. I will look into those how are they on quality
  23. I've been trying to get in touch with northstar. I sent him an email and a message on here. Im sure he's very busy this time of year. I just had a few quick questions about the jigs
