longhorn Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Been doing a lot of drop shotting lately and using the drop shot sinkers with the swivel and line clip but have been getting all sorts of line twist. I now use a mojo type sinker cause had some...any slip sinker would work...and at the end of the line I tie on a small snap swivel...line twist is gone and you have the snap to slip onto your hook keeper or guide when stowing the rod.

gtlegs Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 On some of the drop shot swivels I aquired from a friend (hand poured), the swivel was froze up due to either being placed too low or lead inside them. If I use a frozen one, I get bad twist, if I use a good one, I get minimal twist. So, check your swivels. -Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac10 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 You could also use a Bitsy Bug jig available at Wally World as a weight. It doesn't twist and will occasionally pick up a bass along the way. Just make sure the jig is small and comparatively weedless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
