Newby disscusions

[Jim_From_Zim]

I' a bit of a stickler when it comes to things, so forgive my interruption of your set ups...

Weightless - here you can use floating line or mono in this case

Drop shoot - Use the braid here, but add a leader onto the end of the braid, about twice the length of the rod. A good albright knot works lekker for this application. When you rig the drop shot, use a paloma knot for the hook (small round hook is better) and make the tag end of the knot a little longer, say 200mm. Once tied, send the tag end back through the eye of the hook, this will allow it to stand the correct way up. And when you pop your plastic onto the drop shot hook, only nose hook it in a backwards directions - hook from tail end towards nose

Texas/Carolina (mojo) - to be clear, a carolina is typically used for deep situations. It also uses a small swivel in the line. The weight (typically heavy like 1oz) cannot move past the swivel. 
Texas/Mojo - here you can cheat with some gummies. Most texas/mojo set ups use a 1/8oz weight, or a 3/16thoz. If you use gummies before and after the weight, you can set the weight at any length away from the hook. On a mojo rg, the clearer the water, the more it is away from the hook to about 400mm. When you want to use the same set up as a texas rig, you simply slide the weights and gummies down to the nose of the hook. 


I'll get some pics for you and post shortly to show you what I mean.
