Put alot of work into using spinning gear. Also spent the latter part of the season learning to fish a ned rig.

Between May and November I fished 46 times, mostly on weekends.

Core 50mg7 / Curado 100D

A consistent smooth drag and line management are the most important for dropshotting. Nothing worse than line twist wrecking a day out on the water.

The magnesium frame is well worth the extra money. Note that the gear ratios are different between the President and the Supreme series. I purchased a Supreme XT (on sale) and I have been very impressed with it. Great looks, very light weight but with a very solid feel to it.

Zoom Shakey Head and Finesse worms.

I use a dab of Megastrike as a lube, it has the added bonus of scenting the worms.

Dropshot, Ned rig , Jigs and Spinnerbaits are my favorite fall lures.

I agree that the tips of the Loomis dropshot series are too soft for general use. I have the mag medium Loomis and it's a great dropshot rod. I would probably go with a SJR 782 for general use.

Try to find a Fenwick 7'6" ML Aetos if it is still on sale. Excellent dropshot rod. The extra length helps alot for casting distance and controlling fish. I use mine to throw weighless finesse worms and dropshotting.

A 5" Zoom Shakey Head worm in various colors, either dropshot or weightless.

The old black Cumara 7'2" MHF is my favorite Ika rod. The Dobyns DX743C (my current Senko/Ika rod) is also excellent.
