Got a poll for the drop shot users on here.
What size hooks do you regularly use when nose hooking small baits?
What size and style sinker (round/cylindrical/lead/tungsten)
I am currently using a #2 gammie split shot/drop shot hook for most baits - occasionally a #4 or #1. I do feel I am using to heavy a sinker, usually a 3/8 or 1/2 ounce round and have just started using the cylindrical style some - all lead. I am usually fishing 15 to 20 feet deep.
The reason I am asking is my upcoming Stren on Norfork in Northern Arkansas. The water has 10-12 foot visibility (my clearest water is 3 foot) and the fish can be caught up to 50 foot depending on conditions. I've got to restock weights and am wondering if I should go with the same or try something new.
I'm not looking to make radical changes, but am willing to make small ones if some fine tuning could help.
