What R U all using for ur Drop-Shot Fishing

[DockRat]

I switched over to braid as a main line with a flouro leader this year for all my spin outfits, including my DS820S. I don't have nearly as much line twist, and my sensitivity is still great. Not to mention, a 200 yard spool of flouro lasts forever compared to the frequent change out with straight flouro on your rig.

My line twist problems are a thing of the past.
Had 15 lb Spiderwire on for 1 year now with NO MORE LINE TWISTS !!!
My Shimano spinning reel seems to cast farther too.
15 lb braid is the same diameter as 4 lb mono.
Saves money too since you don't have to keep re-spooling with the mono.
Tossed Kroc, Kastmaster, and LC yesterday for 2 hours, no line twisting.

Braid for life !

What do you mean by suck?

The drag is smooth and the finesse series of reels allow you to do very fine adjustments on the drag pressure.

JDM Daiwas definitely have a unique sound when the line is getting pulled out. I kind of like it though.

If it's sticky, you probably need to replace the drag.

Believe me, I even purchased the aftermarket RCS Finesse Drag Adapter for the thing, and while the drag is 'smooth,' that high pitch metallic click it makes reminds me of the $20 spinning reels I used to use.

I even had Nessie Hunter, who knows his $hít about breaking down a reel to the last gear and putting it back together, completely rebuild it and it still sounds the same.

Perhaps the fact I'm using 5# flouro, instead of the 4# it recommends, may have something to do with it. I dunno. All I know is that I look at my buddy's CI4 and somehow wish it sounded a bit more like that.

Yeah, I have that, a Luvias 1003 and a Presso 1003 and they all make that same sound. My Sol 2000 is in the shop for repairs so I'm not sure if that makes the same sound as well.

On an unrelated note, if you want more capacity on your reel, the Sol 2000 spool fits perfectly on my Certate Finesse Custom 2004.
