Drop shot equipment and supplies in South Africa

Drop-shotting in South Africa can either be a refined, complicated fishing technique or it can be fairly straightforward. Basically, dropshotting is when you tie your fluorocarbon leader to a jighead (weighted hook) via the recommended Rapala knot (gives the jighead the best possible action).  You then ad your choice of either plastic minnow, worm or creature bait to the jighead, make your cast and retrieve it either slowly or fast, depending on what specie you target.

Benefits of dropshotting

• It is one of the most popular and advanced fishing techniques today.
• It gives you the opportunity to target and count species.
• Is a much more interesting way to fish without getting your hands and clothes messy.
• Can be done any ware you can fish with bait.
• Dropshot rods are light and mostly made from the best quality graphite on the market.
