RE: Bullhead rig: Dropshot vs slip sinker
My rod is a light combo, and it is spooned with 4 lb test lines, I don't want to change it so next time I perhaps can try to add a 20lb mono lead line(as I only have 4lb, 6lb, 8lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb,50lb mono on hand) with a swivel. does this plan make sense?

Try stiffer mainline...I'd suggest 8lb at the minimum, and using 3-way swivel.


I come up with a better plan, next time I can make several lead lines using 8lb, 20lb mono and 6lb fluorocarbon line and compare them.
