JediAmoeba Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Nice video. Looked like megastrike scent? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted August 28, 2019 Super User Posted August 28, 2019 This idea is the most weedless way I have ever used a tube. The problem I found is the weight some how gets in the way on hook set and lets the fish come unbuttoned. Quote
5/0 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Looks kinda neat! Except I’d be spending a whole day trying to get the hook through that tiny d/s weight clip! 1 1 Quote
paulmandude Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Why not use a bass casting weight? They’re like $1 a pack at walmart Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 31, 2019 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 31, 2019 The point of the video, as mentioned in the beginning, is to re-purpose specialty tackle so that you can do more with them. Thus, expanding the usefulness of a dropshot weight. 1 Quote

My concern was getting the hook through that small eye on D/S clip. Quote

Cool looking rig, I have just never seen any of that stuff before haha. I’ve definitely never seen those sinkers, I just tie on bullet weights for drop shot (because I already have a million ) Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted September 3, 2019 Super User Posted September 3, 2019 Gonna try that on some River Smallies Quote
