Line for drop shotting

What is the best line for drop shotting also what hook is best?

I have been having break offs where I tie the hook on with a palomar knot.

Any advice?

This has never been a problem with this new hook

I bet if he ties on your hook with the line he is using, it will break off
also. Sounds like crap line. Either old, or bad batch. I dropshot a lot
with a 6# line and a spinning rod. No brake offs. I use mostly Trilene, or
P-line in mono.

If we're talking standard drop shotting (light line, small hooks, small
worms) I prefer 6lb yozuri hybrid or triple fish fluorocarbon. BUT any
quality 4 to 8 pound mono will work. This weekend, I needed to respool my
backup dropshot rod and found that I was out of 'the good stuff'. I ended up
putting on 6lb Trilen XL that's been in my tackle closet for probably 2
seasons. Never lost a fish on it.


also what hook is best?


For my money, a #2 Gamakatsu drop shot/split shot hook, nose hooked in the
bait.

I have been having break offs where I tie the hook on with a palomar knot.

Standard advice. wet the line before cinching the knot, make sure not to
twist the loop before you pass the hook through it, make sure the loop comes
completely over the eye and doesn't get caught in the notch where the end of
the hook wire meets the shank, etc.

The guy's asking about a line, not a hook. Any hook will break off if the
line's no good. Same old Rodney...

Fred, I love 6-8# green Stren or 8-10# Seaguar fleurocarbon for
dropshotting.
