<p> <strong>How deep do you dropshot Slip</strong> and why do you use braid? For toughness against snags and pulling out hooks i reckon.</p>
<p>I have been vertical Jigging 15-18 feet this year and doing well with the less stretch Pline copolymer. I rarely find myself fishing deeper than 20 feet on bottom in the three or four lakes I've been fishing. <strong>Only problem is getting cut off by pickerel while trying to control the boat .</strong></p>

<p>Does braid affect the catch rate, over a clear mono-type line? I don't want to tie lines together. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">When adjusting the slip float knot it abraids the coating surface on Nano and GLISS so I avoid their uses for for slip/floating.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">When drop shotting I throw the bait into or next to a lot of cover … rocks, rubble, heavy weedlines, stumpfields etc. braid is the toughest line in production right now. It has the best knot strength of any line type so when snagged straightening of the hook is the most common result.</span></i></p>
