I do want to try some pink for the fun factor. I need some more daiwa jigheads. I did try a shimano soare draghead jighead today... down right odd little jig and I wasn’t a fan. I really enjoy the daiwa jigheads and my dad likes them a lot so I have given him several packs and after stocking my jig box I am a little low. Need to find a drop shot rod as well that will handle up to 1/4oz and would prefer JDM...

I have the 3lb UV Night Ester on the Presso, it will handle all the Panfish I encounter here in E TN, and want to do a summer night time trip with the black lights. Also, most of my fishing is done in and around structure, so I tend to prefer the heavier (3-4lb) lines. As far as a drop shot rod, I would ask Alphahawk what he prefers to use while using that technique in the winter for Gills. I have heard him mention doing that before. The jig heads you guys are using are great, I have tried a few and have a much better hook up ratio, especially on small nibblers. I use them more from the boat on bedding fish. From the bank I prefer the BG Itty Bitty jigheads in the 1/48 with the #8 hook and the Lightwire 1/32oz with the #6 hook. Just a bit more economical
