Favorite Line To Use For Drop Shotting

Featured Replies

What's everyone's favorite type of line for drop shotting? Who likes straight fluoro or braid with fluoro leader?

I use 10# 832 braid...straight.

Cover dictates line choice, not rigging.  For deep, clear water, I use 6# InvisX or Tatsu.  For shallow weeds, I 20# 832 or Power Pro and a 12# fluoro leader.  Bubba shot, 50 lb. braid, straight up.

Interesting choice Mark.  Why do you like straight braid?

I've just gotten so used to using it all around that it is just second nature to me now.  The sensitivity is the main reason and strength is a bonus.  I use the drag as it should be or back reel.  I fish heavily weeded lakes 90% of the time. If i was out on a super clear rock/sand bottom lake I'd opt for using the fluoro leader but i'm just not on those bodies of water much.  You can always add a leader, but me personally I like braid as my main line for almost everything except crank bait fishing.  

Sunline Sniper FC 7lb.

I like anything 10lb or smaller as long as it is flouro tied to braid via an albright knot

I like invisx mostly

Open water, shallow or deep.... I use 10lb power pro with an 8lb fluorocarbon leader on ML power spinning gear. Moderate cover, I go with 20 lb braid, with a 15lb fluorocarbon leader on medium powered casting gear. Heavy cover.... 30lb braid, 17lb fluorocarbon leader and MH power casting equipment.
