Gonna try drop shot, never fished it before. I've got braid on all my spinning reels. Will this work for drop shot fishing with a fluro leader?  I seem to  remember reading somewhere a while back mono line is better for this.

I use FC leader for my drop-shot fishing off of braid...I don't see the issue.

This site has hundreds of posts on this topic and the majority drop shot anglers use braid with FC leader. 
If I had to guess it would 15 # braid with 8 lb FC leader 7’ to 10’ long.

Hooks vary but size 1 Gamakatsu and Owner drop shot hooks are in the majority.

nearly every new drop shot angler over works the soft plastic and used too heavy weightl.
Take some time and watch several

BR videos and read site articles.

Straight 6# Tatsu. 

For the smaller drop shot style hooks for nose hooking I use 5 lb sniper since you don't really need to set the hook, you just reel into it. Then for finesse cover shot hooks when Trigging I use 8 lb so I can set the hook a little. 

I started using 8lb sniper. I do like it. I feel like the slight stretch helps me not lose fish compared to braid 

5# or 7# Shooter up to 10# if there are sharp rocks. 

Yup floro works great as a leader. I use all 10 lb braid to 8 lb floro leaders here in the Great Lakes where water clarity is high. I use an Alberto knot to attach. Can’t get the dam FG knot perfected yet. 

This has a lot of helpful info for you.  And btw, braid is not necessary for dropshotting.

 

 

I'd argue braid is a detriment to most drop shotting. I present my contrasting argument for it here. Sometimes you have to go against your preferences.

I got my best results on 8lb mono. But if you are in clear water Highland reservoir I suggest 6lb test fluoro, The clear the water the longer the leader.

I use straight 7lb Sniper

8 lb mono straight.

Straight [any line] people unite!!!!

Down with leaders!!!

I use 4lb and 5 lb fc sniper on my 3 inch plastic. 

Thanks for all the responses, also watched some videos. Found an extra spool for one of my spinning reels and ordered some 6Lb fluro line.  Sounds like the simplest way to start if I can keep the fluro from jumping off the reel.

Get some KVD L&L. Seriously.

It's such a natural with me I keep forgetting to say it.

 

Everything except braid gets treated with KVD.

Add me to the list of braid to leader haters.?.

It actually slows color fade on braid too.
