A rig that is unrivaled in its effectiveness, a secret weapon against predators

Today I want to tell you about an interesting and versatile rig that I discovered about a year ago. I found it thanks to the advice of an experienced sports fisherman. Perhaps some of you are already familiar with this method of fishing, but I am sure that there will be those who will hear about it for the first time.

This installation offers a lot of advantages and in certain conditions it proves to be simply irreplaceable.

Advantages:

• Possibility of making ultra-long casts.
• Minimal risk of entanglement and snagging.
• Works with loads of different weights.
• The bait is not loaded as in a drop shot rig.
• You can quickly change the fishing depth without completely disassembling the equipment.

However, there are also some minor disadvantages:

❌ The sensitivity of bites is slightly lower than on a drop shot leash (but better than on a jig). ❌ When playing a large fish, the hook can hit the knot, which increases the risk of breakage. But this problem can be solved - I'll show you how below.

The installation of a sliding dropshot is extremely simple:

1. We tie a fluorocarbon leash to the main cord.
2. We put a stopper to protect the knot.
3. We thread the hook with the bait.
4. Add another stopper.
5. We attach a weight (olive) to the end.

That's it! The rig is ready.

The sliding dropshot is incredibly mobile:

🔹 The lower stopper allows you to adjust the height of the bait.🔹 The upper stopper can make the installation blind.

🔹 If you add a heavier load, you can increase the casting distance.
