Good morning gentlemen, I have a question. I'm still very new to the bass scene, I'm trying to get all the information that I can before going out and purchasing another rod and reel combo. So my question is, can you have a rod that can throw both spinnerbaits and swimbaits under 1/2oz? Would it be ideal? What type of set ups would you recommend? If not, can you explain why? Thank you guys in advance.

I'm actually leaning towards the Alberto knot, that's something I'm going to look at tonight and learn it.

That's how I usually do it, but I have braid as my main line on the spool and the floruo as my lead.

I'm fishing from a float tube, and having the leader anything more than 1 foot makes it hard for me to accurately aim. I currently have it set up @ 1 foot from swivel to hook, do you think that will affect my fish bites?

Yes thank you for the replies. The length between the hook & the weight is a different story but thanks for your Input. I just need to get some ideas on what's an ideal length from swivel to hook.

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, and I apologize if I'm asking in the wrong section. I've researched on this subject and found no answers, so I come to you. I just started drop shotting with braid with a fluorocarbon lead,so my question is.. How long is the lead supposed to be from the swivel to the hook, is it preference? Thanks in advanced.
