Fishin' Fool

I drop shot alot. Pretty much this entire fishing season I've only thrown a drop shot. My suggestions are switch over to 12 or 15 pound braid (I use 12) with a 7-8' fluorocarbon leader. I use 7 pound Sunline Sniper but 8 pound fluorocarbon is okay too. I'd switch your hook to a #1 Gamakatsu split shot/drop shot hook.

100% braid to fluorocarbon leader but with a backing line as mentioned before the braid. I run 12 pound Sunline SX1 to 7 pound Sunline Sniper and that works well for me albeit sometimes if I don't trim the excess of my line to line knot it can hang up on the top rod eyelet.

Yah that's the conclusion that I came to. The lack of response from customer service will probably be enough to scare me away. Thanks for your comments.

I used to fish alot of Lk St Clair and I absolutely loved the NRX 872s as a drop shot rod. It worked well out there. When times got tough I sold it but I really miss that rod.

I am getting the itch to look at new rods. I was thinking about about a Gary Loomis Edge Black widow Drop shot rod but it sounds like it's impossible to find in stock at the stores and you have to order through the website. Anyone have any experience with this rod?

The early bird gets the worm.... literally. Bass Pro shop and Cabelas has some packs of green pumpkin and goby. You'd better act fast or they will be gone by the end of the day more likely by lunch. No I don't work for Berkley but I've been chasing these elusive lures for the past two years so I know how difficult they are to get. Enjoy!

I've heard they also work on Ned (mushroom) jighead.

You aren't wrong!

They have more green pumpkin and goby if you didn't get them yet. I think they are declining people's orders who buy too many so there is opportunity for others. It's actually a real thing my buddy got labeled a dealer/re-seller by BPS because he ordered too many packs of baits lol

I am not saying it isn't. They have a huge following for sure. Just a very specific claim on the package. Personally I am a fan!

But the Berkley people claim 45% more fish right on the package ????

Now it's back to buying them on eBay for anyone that didn't get them.

Awesome! What colors are you finding produce the best?

The flatworms are available on BPS/Cabelas again not many left. Probably some orders that got rejected for ordering to many. Get them fast!

The pros made them really popular especially drop shot fishing in the north.
