quick drop shot or braid users

[dodgeguy]

i have decided to go back to braid this year.if you are like me and hate cutting your braid all the time then you may use a snap.i use the berkeley cross lock snaps that my friend uses.this presents some unique challenges when trying to use a dropshot.i rigged up a pre rigged drop shot that i am going to use for this.my spinning rod has 12/50 power pro on it.i made the drop shot out of 2/10.this gives the least visible braid possible and also if you get stuck it will break first and you won't loose 50 feet of line.at the top of the drop shot i put a size 2 split ring.then the drop line goes down approx 2.5 feet.then the hook and any where from 2 to 3 feet is the sinker.i used a tungsten 1/4 oz. bullet weight with a berkeley snap on the bottom.the snap is so when i am not using the setup i can clip the snap onto the rods hook holder.next season i will try this out but it should work fine.
