Reaction Tackle Drop Shot Weights 25-Pack
Rating

The drop shot rig is one of my favorite setups for still water trout and these Reaction Tackle weights make it simple to pull off. Here is how I rig it — tie a size 8 salmon egg hook onto your main line, then leave about a 2-foot tag end below the knot. Clip the 1/4 oz drop shot weight onto the end of that tag end and you have a rig that suspends your bait at a precise depth off the bottom. It is an effective presentation for trout that are holding tight and not chasing. One thing to watch: these weights have a line clip that can cut thinner monofilament if you are not careful when attaching them. Take your time clipping them on and you will not have a problem. At 4.7 stars across nearly 1,900 reviews and Amazon's Choice, Reaction Tackle has built a well-deserved reputation for reliable terminal tackle.
