Weights for dropshot

Featured Replies

What type of fishing weight will be less likely to get wedged in rocks? I went fishing a few years back on found a large box of various size bullet weights (hundreds). Don't know why someone would need over 100 weights for a fishing trip but whatever. That's what I've been using. Just a small overhand knot, a "b" shot, and bullet weight. It works well in most situations except rocky areas. It breaks away well too and I like there's no line twist because the line goes right through the bullet weight. I rarely use nose hooking as majority of time i T.Rig my baits. But in rocks, it's snag city. I've used the traditional clip cylinder type.  I can't say they are any less snag proof in rocky areas. I mostly rely on technique to finesse my way through the rocks but that only works so long. What do you guys use for rocky areas and dropshoting? (Round, egg, tear, HELP!!)

cylindrical.    and tungsten because they are physically smaller for the same weight.
