Yes, absolutely line makes a difference. You’re going to want to have fluorocarbon where your bait is. “fluoro†is totally invisible to fish. Dropshotting is a slow finesse technique and will often let the fish have a really good look at your bait so you want the line to be invisible. Absolute best way is to have a braided main line tied to a fluorcarbon leader. My my main line is always 8-12 briaded line and leader is always 8lb. A braided main line will allow you to feel the bites as is really sensitive and the Fluoro leader will allow your bait to be invisible . Tie the 2 lines together with a “uni to uni†knot. YouTube will offer many videos on how to tie 2 lines together.Wpgfisherman99 said:
Okay fluoro isn't totally invisible to the fish. I'm surprised you think that. Fluorocarbon is just LESS visible than mono is. Why do you think people use as low as 3lb test fluoro for steelheadT-Ack said:
That’s hearsay. Unless you’re a fish, no real way to tell if fluoro is totally invisible..... I’ll also add that fluoro has less stretch than monofilament. When your dropshotting, the less stretch the better.Ibstacle said:
I think there's a slight difference. but on clear water is where a low vis fluoro will be an advantage. I have a hi vis raven I took from a centerpin and use them drop shotting on high cover weed lines. Still catching them. I like hunting bass on high cover weeds because you know, that's where the "bigguns" are. That's one reason I always use MH rod.Wpgfisherman99 said:
