It was fun indeed. I'll try the dorsal and the lip (only) set. I'd probably get even more hits if I didn't kill the shad straight off driving a hook through its brain. I know what you mean as far as "if it ain't broke..."
I learned the dropper loop rig on a recent ling cod/rockfish charter I did in April at Channel Islands, CA. First time at sea, great experience all around. Since then, I've tried that rig in all my usual haunts and so far it has outperformed my usual carolina style bait rig... for trout & cats.
Best part is that it's quicker & easier to tie... and when I do snag I usually only lose the sinker. It boils down to what I and the fish like. And I like it if it works.
Thank you for your input.
So is there really a floating outhouse out there or does it just resemble one?
