Drop Shot Rig

[roadrunner]

to get line twist out; cut everything off your line and put your boat in gear and at an idle put the line in the water and let out most of the line, run it for a while then reel it in as the boat is still idleing forward or you can stop the boat and reel in the line.

I use a shaky head jig as my weight. Caught fish on both the jig and drop shot hook using this setup ( not at the same time). Don't remember where I saw this but makes sense to me. If I am using a 1/4 or 3/8 drop shot weight then why not use the Shaky head jig and it has served me well

Good idea. I will definitely try that. Maybe it is the type of fluoro I use that is the cause of my line breaking. I mainly use XPS, but also Trilene.

Elnut, I had the same idea. I have done similar with a Carolina-rig before. I had an in-line jig that I put in place of the sinker.
