Okay, so today I wanna talk about this little thing called a “drop shot weight holder.” Now, I’m no pro, but I’ve been fishing for a while, and let me tell you, this thing is a game-changer.
First off, I got myself a rod. A 7-foot, medium-light spinning rod with a fast action was what I was using. It is good for this kind of thing, I thought to myself.
- Grabbed my spinning reel. This is important, you need a strong reel for drop shotting because that’s where the power comes from.
- Found some weights. I usually go with the ones between 1/8 and 3/8 ounce.
- Then I Started looking at different brands.
There’s this one brand, THKFISH, that a lot of people were talking about. Seems like it’s pretty popular, even showed up as a number one on this online shop.
So, here’s how I put it all together:
- I took my main line and tied it to the hook, leaving a long tag end.
- Then, I threaded that tag end back through the hook eye, creating a loop below the hook.
- Clipped the weight holder onto that loop. Super easy.
- Finally, I attached my weight to the holder.
I went out to the lake a few times with this setup, and man, it’s been great. I can feel the bites way better, and I’ve been catching more fish. This is a way that is praised by some pro fisherman somewhere.
So, if you’re into drop shot fishing, I definitely recommend giving these weight holders a try. It’s a simple thing, but it makes a big difference.
I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. Maybe it’ll help someone out there who’s looking to up their drop shot game. Happy fishing!
