Dens228

I use a double uni knot also.

It's funny you mention that, I was contemplating 20 lb Sufix 832 with a mono leader on a baitcaster for drop shot.

Being as you're in Rockford, do you fish Pierce much??

My SS127 is being delivered to my house tomorrow morning.......excited to start rigging it up for the season.

I've used a drop shot one time ever. I've decided to give it an honest go this upcoming season. I have a spinning combo laying unused and that's what I'm going to use. It has 10 lb mono on it. Now I just need to convince myself I have the patients to use it. LOL

Thanks!

I'm wondering what the difference between the two would be??

I've been retired for four years, I work security part time afternoons at a high school, so summers off. I am VERY happy that I can fish every day.

I'm in the same boat, but with red. Other than red flake in plastics.

Thankfully I only have about 50 or so in mine so it doesn't weight that much!

Yes, all the time.

I use a collapsible grappling anchor in lakes, I use a chain in quarries.

Between 60 and 70 without trailers.

I was born in the early 60's and am left handed. The nun's at my Catholic school tried to make me right handed but didn't succeed. But growing up there just wasn't a lot of left handed items or sporting gear so I adapted. As a result I'm all over the place on which side I use......off the top of my head as it stands now Shoot guns,...either way Shoot a bow... rh Throw....rh...........got a new baseball glove at 8, right handed but I'd rather use the new one than the correct one Fish.......right handed, try getting left handed stuff in the 60's!! LOL Bat..........either Eat ....lh Scissors........rh kick........lf Write........lh box.........rh

I got my yak on the water March 14th last year.

Well, the Shearwater I pre-ordered early December is cancelled, I ordered a Bonafide SS127 at 10:00 at this morning and got shipping notification at noon. I know the shipping issues with Vibe is out of their control with the virus in China but I can't base my summer of fishing on the uncertainty. I can't wait to see how the SS rigs up, I already have some ideas.

MegaBass Flatside Special.

I may have to print this out and try it next time I get a backlash.

Two Braillists and a Flat Side Special

I have NEVER gotten that to work. Thankfully my backlashes have decreased over the years and when I do they aren't as bad. Of course now I jinxed myself.

I can't count how many times I change my configurations and locations on my kayaks. What seems good in my head doesn't always work out when I sit on it on my garage floor, and then works out even less on the water. Although I am getting much better at my layouts on first tries.

While patiently awaiting my now delayed Shearwater I'm contemplating the Bonafide SS127. The Shearwater delay is already going past my first two tournaments.

And the chattering blade vs no blade my be the "only" difference but it can be a very big difference. Personally I do better with a swim jig but I fish a lot of very clear water. In murky or muddy water the chatterbait does well.

Considering all the tiny parts, including springs, and adding in my thick fingers, my rule is..........don't. LOL

Put them in a worm binder. They stay untangled from any other spinnerbaits and take up less room than a box.
