Thread: Spinshots

I have been running dropshot style kentucky rigs this past year and love them. Less snaggy for sure. I started out just palomar knotting hooks to the mono leader with a dipsey swivel sinker at bottom and a brass swivel at the top. I stored them by wrapping on a noodle and then when ready I snap swivel these rigs on to my yellow power pro mainline with a snap swivel. But it seemed the knot would slip down causing the hook to hang vertical instead of horizontal so I went the Standout hooks. Worked great but expensive plus they sometimes wound up on themselves to I went to VMC spin shots. Great product but real expensive. Almost a buck a hook. I found these size 21 drop shot clips on Barlow Tackle and now I can put whatever hook I want on. Super cheap. Granted there is a couple of extra knots to tie than standard rigs but what else do you want me to do, like talk to the wife about her day. I attached a couple of pics. I just found these Matzuo 1/0 xwide jbend worm hooks (hook at the top left) and I plan to start tying up gnats/minner critters on these. So I have a DIY spinshot gnatsy set up now.

2 pair of good needle nose and heat gun solves that problem.
