    dropshot question

    this came up on the clever tip board but I thought it might get more exposure here. What would be the negative of using a drop shot with a jighead for the weight? If its line breaking couldn't you use braid or would it be too visible?

    Re: dropshot question (ccwholesale)

    I've done this before, and the problem wasn't the line breaking, but when you hook 2 fish the one on the bottom gets slack from the fish on the top. Also the hooksets are differant depending on witch hook is getting bit.

    Not a problem for me even with a bottom rig off the pier! Fish hate me lately...

    Sounds like a pretty good idea, but I guess one drawback would be getting hung up more often if you are dropshotting around brushpiles, timber, etc...
