I have only recently taken up dropshotting and I gotta tell ya - I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am delighted with my Loomis BSR852 GLX spinning rod. very light, sensative, xf tip.

Powerpro 15 lb w/ p-line cxx 6# leader

owner mosquito #1

zoom finesse worm (usually)

I use a reel set.  So far the hookup rate is excellent.  better than anything that's not a treble hook.
