What would be the best weight for using these for a drop shot ? thanksAnswers
A:
I use 1/8 oz. in shallow ponds. 3/16 oz. for up to 10 ft. 1/4 oz for 10-20 ft. And 3/8 oz for 20+ feet.
A:
That depends on a couple of factors like water depth & line weight.I personally use 3 weights for normal conditions: 1/8oz, 3/16oz and 1/4oz. Normally I start with the lightest weight I can, as long as I can feel the bottom. As the wind and wave action picks up, I may change to a heavier weight to retain the feel.

A:
that all depends on the current that your fishing in. i have very slow moving current or next to none at times, i use 1/8oz. that way its not a huge weight int he water but yet still heavy enough to carry to the bottomA:
3/16 OZ or if you need to feel the bottom 1/2 OZ

A:
Depends on the weight of your artificial bait, how far you need it to go and how deep. I like the 3/16th oz size the best for most applications.

A:
Use as light of weight as you can get away with. You want to be able to feel the bottom and keep your line straight below you.Details:

A:
Tie a simple overhand knot about 1/2 inch from the end of the line (assuming you are dropshotting and have tied the hook about 8 inches from the end with a Palomar knot). Then you slide the knot through the eye in the line clip and slide it up the clip gently. Remember to wet the line to reduce friction and heat.

A:
put your line through the eye. tie a knot in your line towards the end, that way the sinker will not fall off on its own or slip off. the knot will act as a stopperA:
Your hook should be 12 to 15 inches above the drop shot weight go with a size 1 hook good luck

A:
Run the end of your line through the little wire after you have tied your hook on up the line. The weight is on the end of the line and the artificial lure is up a ways. You can fish the weight as close as 6 inches from your bait to as far away as 4 or 5 feet depending on how close to the bottom of the lake you want to fish. To secure the weight onto the line, you just snug it into the narrow part of the wire, making sure that you don't pull too hard on the line so as not to damage it. You don't need to tie it on. The pressure of the wire will keep it in place until you need to change its position or it gets hung up on a snag and breaks free.

A:
You put the line through the hole and pull it up into the A bend at the top. The bend in the wire will crimp your line and keep the weight secure.Details:
I am going to start molding my own weights and this looks like a very good idea.Details:
I was wondering if these come in any type of assortment of different size weights and hooks or just an assortment of weights? I think it would be a great idea. They have them for every other weight, why not these.Answers
A:
There is different size of drop shot weights however I would stick with the size 1 hook

These are fairly new to BPS. I am sure there will be a kit soon.1 of 1
