Lure Fishing With A Dropshot Rig

[@jboulderct]

Lovely day for it and a beautiful walk if nothing else.

[@UltralightLads]

Exactly that! Very lucky to have it so close to us. Cannot beat a stroll along the canal when the sun is shining and the birds are singing, very relaxing 👍

[@peteredwards1528]

Do you use a fluorocarbon trace?

[@UltralightLads]

We do indeed. Unless we are actively targeting pike that is. We are primarily after the perch in the canal but there's always a chance that Mr Pike might turn up.

[@peteredwards1528]

​@@UltralightLads same here, I just use a rod length of fluorocarbon attached to my braid via a double uni knot. I very rarely get bitten off by pike, but if I do I always use barbless or debarbed hooks to give the pike chance to shed the hook. I don't like using wire because it effects the action of some of the micro lures I use

[@jameswigglesworth5406]

Exactly that Peter. The pike did seem very active on this session but knew I wouldn't be able to fish the rig effectively using wire.
