Fluorocarbon drop-shot line?

[FryDog62]

I know a few of you use fluorocarbon as a main line for drop-shotting... what are you using (brand, lb test, etc) and what tips do you have to maintain manageability and prevent line twist?

 I use leader grade FC, including fly tippet material.  Limper isn't better for leaders and drop shot set-ups.  Stiffer tangles less.  Leader grade may be tougher than line grade, although some will debate it.

 

I don't think line twist will be any different no matter what you use.   

 

I use VMC drop shot rigs with the swivels and use lighter leader for the sinker drop so it will break below the hook.  Just replace the lower piece.

6 or 8lb InvizX is awesome.

I have two set ups that I use for drop shot depending on how deep I go. 

 

For deep water I am currently using 16lb Sunline X-Plasma Braid with 10lb Seaguar Premier leader.

 

For everything else, I like 6lb Trilene XL 100% FC.  I have tried others but this seems to be the best balance on price and manageability.  I do also like in Invizx.

I only have a single DS rig - 10# Sufix 832 to 6# InvizX on a President-25/Fury 702SF

Also 6# Invisx. Main line. Only line, 100%. Done deal. The limpness and having the amount of stretch I want is what sells me on it. 
 

This is my finesse set up for DS. If I have go up, I’ll using casting gear or 8-10# mono.

7# Sunline Sniper FC main line or 5# Maxima  Ultra Green Copolymer . The drop shot good weight should allow the line to untwist.

Just cut everything off and drag 100’ of the line behind your boat at walking speed a few minutes to untwist it if needed.

I use 7lb Sniper and for the most part deal with line twist/manageability by using a casting combo vs a spinning one.  When I do DS on a spinning combo I tend to stick to longer, t-rigged worms which seem to spin a lot less.

Usually Hitena Aquinix LT in 14.9 pound test, also Suffix Invisiline leaders in 12 and 15.
