Okay, so, I wanted to talk about this thing called a “drop shot weight holder”. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve been messing around with fishing for a good bit, and I’ve gotta say, this little gadget has been kinda interesting to figure out.
So, I was having a heck of a time keeping my drop shot rigs from turning into a tangled mess. Weights swinging around, hooks getting caught on everything, you name it. Drove me nuts! I tried rubber bands, twist ties, even those little plastic sleeves. Nothing really did the trick. Then, I stumbled upon these things online, the Cali Clip, and figured I’d give ’em a shot.
First thing I did was grab a few packs. They weren’t too pricey, so I wasn’t worried about breaking the bank. When they came in, I started trying them on my rods. It’s pretty simple, you just clip them onto your rod, and they’ve got these little slots to hold your drop shot weights and a spot for the hook too. It took a bit to get used to, had to play around with how to put the weight and hook in so it holds, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it.
Now, I keep a bunch of these clips on my rods. It is good when I’m switching spots or packing up for the day. No more tangled messes. My lines stay nice and organized, and I don’t have to waste time re-rigging every time I move.
I also experimented with different weight sizes. I had some 1/8 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and even a few 3/8 ounce ones. They all fit in the holder just fine. That was pretty handy, ’cause you never know what kind of conditions you’ll be facing, right?
- Started with different weight sizes.
- Tried 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 ounce.
- All fit the holder.
Honestly, these things have been a game changer for my drop shot fishing. I spend less time untangling line and more time with my bait in the water. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?
If you’re like me and you’re tired of dealing with tangled drop shot rigs, I’d say give these Cali Clip things a try. They’re a small investment, but they make a big difference. I ain’t saying they’re magic, but they sure do help keep things organized.
My Takeaway
These holders are pretty good. Keep things tidy. Simple to use once you figure it out. Less mess, more fishing. Good stuff.
