Salamander Sinkers Drop Shot

The art of drop shot fishing is one of the most popular methods of catching fish. Tournament anglers are having tremendous success using this technique to bring heavier fish to their weigh ins. Drop shot fishing is proving to be highly effective; however, there is still one downside to this technique: conventional drop shot sinkers. Conventional drop shot sinkers are clipped onto the fishing line and, due to set up of the technique, the sinkers easily snag on the bottom of the fishing environment. This snagging often leads to the sinkers coming off the line becoming lost forever.

Drop Shot

While conventional drop shot sinkers easily snag and become lost, Salamander Sinkers Drop Shot solves this problem. The patent pending Salamander Sinkers Drop Shot features a tubular shaped design, a flexible plastic coating which provides lift and minimizes snags, and a swivel allowing them to be tied directly to the fishing line. Now anglers can both fish with finesse and use the drop shot technique.

Salamander Sinkers Drop Shot achieves the perfect balance between buoyancy and submersion resulting in a product that out performs conventional drop shot sinkers. The natural buoyancy of the sinker body is counteracted by the steel weight used for submersion. The results are a fishing rig that is light, easy to cast and retrieve making it the ultimate in finesse fishing.

· Salamander Sinkers® Drop Shot adds finesse and sensitivity to drop shot fishing without snagging or losing sinkers.

Carolina Rig Style

This enhanced Carolina Rig sinker will give bass anglers an edge over traditional rigs due to its construction. With Salamander Sinkers anglers concentration on the actual strike where you can feel the fish on the line rather than using the sinker to keep in contact with bottom.

Salamander Sinkers snag resistant properties allows anglers to fish obstructions that would hang up traditional rigs. Rock covered fishing environments which is a big problem for the Carolina rig are now accessible. Salamander Sinkers is designed to slide across obstructions. Hydrilla and other snags are no problem for Salamander Sinkers. Read the testimonials of our users then try it for yourself. You too will become a believer in this new U.S. patent pending technology that is changing the way anglers use Carolina rigs.

River anglers can use the current to drift the bait in front of bass. Salamander Sinkers work extremely well in shallow water that could until now only be accessible by a fly rod. Use plastics, crankbaits or flies and catch fish with your spinning and bait cast rods.

Salamander Sinkers lead free construction makes it ideal for anglers and the environment. Casting distance can quickly be adjusted by adding or removing weight from the sinker. In addition the traditional Carolina system is subject to line fray caused by the sinker sliding on the fishing line. This problem is a thing of the past with the Salamander Sinkers.

Use any bait that is typically associated with the Carolina rig such as plastic worms and jigs. A floating hook has the advantage of providing additional action to the bait during the retrieve. The buoyancy of the floating hook will give additional "life" to the bait when retrieving with small jerks. This is especially evident when fishing where there is no current. The bait will sink slowly or rise slowly depending on the size of the tail or worm. Use 20 lb. to 30 lb test for the pole line and 10 lb. to 14 lb. test monofilament line for the leaders.

There are several types of retrieves that can be used. The first is the hop method which involves raising the rod a couple inches and reeling up the slack as the weight hits the bottom. This method is used mainly where the bottom has a lot of obstructions. On the hook set, try to feel the fish at the end of the line then reel down on the rod tip and set the hook with force.

Another method of retrieve is the sliding method. This is done by slowly moving the rod tip on a horizontal plane, causing the bait to slide across the bottom only a couple inches. On the hook set take up slack and point the rod in the direction of the fish. Use the sliding motion and set the hook on the same horizontal plane with a solid hook set. This method works well when fishing in weeds.
