This is some bullchit 😡



Are you dragging a Tournament Pro Dropshot Rig like I posted a few months ago? They seemed to quit hitting it when the water got hot, but they are back to tearing it up now. I changed my rod setup; put a baitcaster on a flyrod and now I can get it further away from the boat. An unplanned bonus is that it seldom gets hung up now. Any time the bait or weight gets caught on something I can pick up the rod and move the tip backwards and get it loose. The long flyrod lets me maneuver it around cover without hanging it.

I think you could rig one to work on your kayak. The ones you catch are like free fish. smile
