Questions about pompano/dropper rigs

Think I'll just stick to my drop leader jig board . Much simpler and faster for me than trying to do it with my fumble fingers .

I like the way the line stiffens up, but not certain that it would work for 10# floro. I will make a double drop later today and find out.

One consideration for fluorocarbon is line burn. When fishing for bass, I use fluorocarbon quite a bit but have to watch which knot I use and have to wet it when I pull it tight. Burning the knot with friction cuts down the strength. It can on mono as well but not nearly as much.

Yep, moisten the knot and tighten slowly.

10# flouro doesn't spin-up as tight as 10# mono, and the mono was stiffer. However, I slipped a toothpick into the second loop of flouro and spun it up. Still not as stiff as mono, but it was easy!
