Zoom trick worms in watermelon, Owner Mosquito hooks, 10 lb Sunline Super fluoro.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

I use 6lb Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon with a #1 or #2 gamakatsu splitshot/dropshot hook. I typically rig it up with Berkley hand poured finesse worms, sometimes 3" crazy legs chigger craws.

15lb power pro with a 10lb floro leader. Roboworm Rebarb 2/0 hook with any kind of finnesse worm. I like to connect the braid and floro to a swivle, cuts down on any line twist. If you dont use braid, you definately want a swivle.

I use Roboworms as the lure.....while they arent durable, they do catch fish.

We produce 4 & 6" Drop Shot worms mostly custom from a hybrid plastic that is soft and durable. Our production considers several factors such as depth, transparent or opaque your call and can be purchased in 5 counts. Fringe was published in the on-line December issue of Westernbass Magazine. The baits pictured are destined for the Delta.

If im fishing deep: 12 lb braid, small swivel, 6 lb fluro leader. If im fishing less than 20 ft of water: 6 or 8 lb fluro. Gama 1 or 2 drop shot hook, or the rebarb hook, depending on the bait im using. Roboworms, Berkly gulp alive minnows, Pannic Minnows, or Sniper Bolts. If the bite is really tough, the Pannic Minnows by Desity Tackle, and the Bolts by Sniper always do the trick. http://sniperlures.com/http://www.density-tackle.com/

Depends on the bait configuration, color(s), quantities, depth, buoyance and illusion.
