Just woundering about the heavy drop shot rig,I want to try this in some heavy weeds. (1).would a braid work maybe 20# crystal.(2)what size hook and what kind.(3)would it be texes riged or nose hooked.Thanks and good fishing!!!

I use my XH flipping stick, 65# Power Pro, a 1/2 to 3/4 oz. weight, and a 5/0 worm hook to cannonball pads with a 10" PowerWorm.

Powershotting is one of the hottest techniques for big fish on the tourney trail....Big Baits for Big Bass....Fishin on the edge BABY...WOOOOO

Especially since you have a power rod to do it with now(766H), LOL!!!

I have also done this in thick pads/hydrilla with some success.

I use 25lb Fluorocarbon and a 4/0 or 5/0 offset heavy wire worm hook. I Texas Rig it and I love creature baits when doing this.

Check this video out! Notice in the pic of him holding a drop shot, he's using a casting combo!

I use my worm rod for heavy drop shots. 1/4 oz weight, 30lb or more braid, MH rod, and a 6.2:1 or higher CASTING reel. Use a small wide gap hook, and a trick worm or curly tail worm 6" or more! Fish it a little fast too! Also instead of using a drop shot weight, use a brass or tungsten weight with a glass bead on the bottom.
