# Test For Dropshot

20lb braid to a 6 or 8lb FC leader, VMC Spinshot hook, and a 6-8lb tag end is my normal setup, I adjust to the situation after that.

20lb braid to a VMC Spinshot hook 6 or 8lb FC leader, is my normal setup, I adjust to the situation after that.

 

You tie the braid straight to the spinshot hook?  So the fluoro tag/leader line is just to break off hangups?

10lb Power Pro slick with an 8 lb. flouro leader and a VMC spin shot hook.

X2 exactly

No, I did not explain myself properly in the previous post, I tie a 6 or 8lb leader to the main line, then to the hook, and another 6 or 8lb piece for the tag end to the weight.

Ok, I get it - similar to how I do it when I use braid.  Thanks!

Most of what I do regarding the drop shot I learned on this site.  With that said here is my setup ... very similar to others above

 

Med to Med-Light rod

15 lb Braid

8lb FC leader

VMC Spinshot size #1

3/8oz weight to start.  Up/Down from there as necessary

 

This covers me for up to 15ish FOW.

 

For the Powershot I do the following

7' MH Baitcaster

50lb Braid

15lb FC Leader

VMC Powershot hook

1/2oz weight to start.  Up generally from there if needed to 5/8 or 3/4

 

My favorite worm for both is the Powerworm.  4" for the drop shot, 7"+ for the Powershot.

 

Good luck.  I have had great success with this over the year.

Thanks for catching my mistake, sounds like a lot of work when you write it out, but it only takes a minute to actually set it up.
