    I was skeptical of making a changing. My Drop Shot conference is in the Berkeley Maxscent flat worm (still a good bait), but the Trick Shotz killed it. Caught 30+ fish on 3 hour trip and 20+ on a 3 hour trip 5 days earlier. All on the same hook and bait. Yes I used only one Trick Shotz and it still looks new. 10+ fish 15”, three 16” and a 17”. Too many to count in the 8”-10” range. Also don’t forget light weight (thin) fluorocarbon leader. This allows the bait to move naturally. I used a 6’ leader of Sunline FC Leader (6lb) tied to Berkeley X9 Braid (8lb) with the Owners Mosquito size 1 hook. This hook has a large gap between the hook point and the eye. When nose hooking the bait this allows the fish to get a good bite and give the fish the best chance to get hook tip. This hook will give you more hook ups.
