Drop shot

[JakeT]

Anybody ever use these for drop shotting? Gamakatsu G Finesse Swivel Shot Drop Shot Hook

They work fine, I just think they take an extra step when rigging that I don't want to take when I am tournament fishing and I am to lazy to tie an extra knot.

They work pretty good.. just a bit pricey for me.

Bought a pack and after using one I went back to a regular hook and Palomar knot. Much easier and less time consuming

[School Master]

I tried them when they first came out. I'm not exactly sold they even help with line twist. I just couldn't get over all that extra hardware. Just a regular DS hook for me.

[Quillback]

Yeah I just use a Palomar knot.

[pflat]

looks like a line tangle nightmare

I'd use them. I usually use the vmc spin shot hooks though.

I'd use them. I usually use the vmc spin shot hooks though.

Yup, same here. I use the vmc's ,same concept and they work fine. Seem to help with line twist

Like several others here, I tried them early on, but found that it was just easier for me to use a palomar. The ones I tried worked fine.

[Walkabout7781]

Haven't tried them, and don't see the need. I don't want more hardware on the hook. Palomar on the hook, and a half-hitch just below the weight clip.

Tried them. Think the cross bar keeps their mouth open. Lost way more fish with them over a normal hook

[Stickworm420]

This has a clip its actually faster then tying up a new ds rig atleast for me one knot and your leader cinches on the same way it cinches to your weight
