10-15# Power-Pro
15# Seaguar InvisX leader
1/4 oz tungsten pencil weight
1/0 owner rigging hook
Small finesse worm
I like a rod with a light tip but some back bone to pull the big girls from cover How long of a leader are you using? Thanks. 6"-10"....no method to the madness. Cody uses braid as his main line as he uses a spinning set-up. If you dont use a spinning setup then use floro or mono no bigger than 15 lb. test. I too prefer the Owner Rig'N hook but mine has a special twist from River A Tackle. Check out the drop shot section @ River A Tackle for all of your drop shot needs. As for baits...well I primarily use 3" flukes, finesse worms, and Grande Bass Baby Rattlesnakes. Good Luck!!

I am wondering how long the fluoro leader is from the main braid? I used that Owner hook as well, works great

If it were me I'd go 40yds if I had that much line at the time.

I have found that a longer flouro leader, say 4ft, will get you more bites. Plus I use a small swivel to tie them together. This is reduce line twist and give you a solid connection.
