All I keep hearing about is the Dropshot and sinkers with hooks. I found 12, and 16 ounce torpedoes I mocked up what I think might work and shared a picture with Dave.

Dave responds "Needs some glow"...
Found an old skin in my lure crafting box and mixed and matched. Put them in the oven to bake on the glow.

I really like the wrap, but there's definitely no glow so this is the daytime dropper.

I used some fingernail polish to make some squid dots on one, but it basically was to cover a bumpy spoy from the paint melt. Well, let's see if these things can actually catch fish!
Assist Hooks are 7/0, 9/0, and 11/0 respectively and the trebles are 4X 5/0 trebles.

Hell yeah. I sprayed a 16oz with chartreuse one side blue on the other, stuck a 5/0 4x treble and called it. We will see what happens.

Mine would have come out much nicer looking if I sprayed them, but I opted for the glow and chartreuse powder coat that I baked on. Still nice to have as an additional tool in the box.

Yeah, add some glow paint/pieces!

The glow paint is the powder coat that I baked on, so it glows.

I saw a video of someone catching fish with a 10mm end wrench :o Your rig looks like it should attract the fish no problem 8)

Just picked up a little UV paint to touch up a few sinkers and jigs.

That's a great idea. I have quite a few jigs I need to touch up also.
