#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

Again, Thanks for more input on the type of hooks you all are using. I will get a pack of each #4 Gami and Owner. I was sweeping my rod when my worms were rigged weedless with the 1/0 Gami straight-shank. I will take aboard these recommendations for a better hook-set. Out. GdHkSet

GdHkSet,
I come from a commercial fishing background. Have been doing it for many years. 95% of the hooks we use are circle hooks. I decided to try them on drop shots. The hook up percentage is high because they set themselves. I use the Owner thin wire circle hooks and have never had a reason to try anything else. I even use them for surf perch with grubs or live bait. Just my two cents. <>< <>< <>< <><

Don't be afraid to try the diaichi (yes, I probably spelled it wrong) re-barb hooks when dropshotting. They are all I use and I always rigs the worms weedless. These hooks are really strong and sharp and the worm never slips with them! Terry:-) Terry Kratzer
