Went searching for intel on the grandebass bait that just came out! looks pretty dang good to me! I think with some bigger line, i can powershot some brushpiles with good success!! I'm pretty impressed by the action! Come on Academy, get those puppies on the shelves!!!

Intresting


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know when to go fishing.

I love dropshotting, but hate the little bites I get on it. I have wanted to try the powershotting, to get away from the 100:1 ratio of dinks to keepers. Guess I can try it once I find some of these.

How does Powershotting differ from Dropshotting?

from my understanding = powershotting uses bigger weight, hook, and line. technically, it is still dropshotting.

Have you tried to use the 6.5" rattlesnake for a bigger bait?

What is a typical powershotting setup, ie. rod type, reel, line size, weight?

MH rod, 15 to 20 lbs. line, 3/0 to 5/0 hook, 1/4 to 1/2 weight.

The Bubba Shot or powershotting can be done with your typical 7'-7'3 M-MH, F action rod and 12-15 lb FC.
