#9587, "Recommended Drop-Shot Hooks for Shore"
|
Tried Perris shoreline yesterday afternoon from the Bernasconie Beach access road. I was rigged with 2 straight-tail robo's when I got nailed twice in a 1/2hr but came up with nothing but frustration!. I was using 1/0 Gamakatsu straight-shank hooks, because I did not have any drop-shot hooks. Any help out there on what size/make of drop-shot hooks would help, or I will just change my handle to "BadHkSet". Thanks. GdHkSet

If I'm fishing weedless, I use 1/0 or 2/0 ewg offset gammies on 4" & 6" worms. When I nose hook, I use #2 or #4 gammie dropshot hooks. I have had a real good hook up ratio in the past with the dropshot hooks!
One thing I have noticed in the past is that my hardest hits, the kind that pull your rod tip down, usually don't result in a hook up. I think they are just small fish, maybe even bluegill, grabbing the worm and running QUICK!

Thanks to all for the recommended size hooks, and it is probably small fish robbing me at Perris. NoTroll- I am going to hit Poway shoreline late-A.M Friday leaving from work, and hopefully get the boat out on Saturday-PM at Skinner. Hope to see you out there. GdHkSet
