I have been throwing the tungsten jackhammer for two years now. I really like them.

Question: tungsten usually gives better feedback, does the feedback feel better to you vs lead?

Hey sonar I’ve watched most of the vids and love them keep up the hard work and thinking of your family!!

God Bless Rylee.

Miles, I’m going to start supergluing my elaztech. Do you recommend gel or liquid and why? What container size or features do you prefer?

Great to hear this good news. Hope to keep hearing it!

How does it hold up on rocks? My lead head chatterbaits get boogered up quick around rock.

Did you use the tungsten Jackhammer before this was released? Does it hunt about the same as the lead version Evo?

Obviously a step in the right direction for Z-man.

When will it be available? Can't catch anything with the jigs I have now, might as well try this one...lol

I like the clip. They are fast, and honestly I don't really lose all that many of them.

My knot always ends up to the side of the hook eye and messes up the action. Going to try the palomer where the hook is down like you show. They need to come out with a snellable power shot hook

That would be awesome for a TUBE

Have you experimented with and found any good rigs to prevent line twist with dropshots? I seem to get quite a bit of twist when fishing it, probably more than any other rig I use. I've tried putting a swivel 6" or so above the hook which helps but adds a couple more knots that can break. I've also tried beads and bobber stops around an untied hook, but unless you put a swivel below the hook you can end up dragging bobber stops down to the weight when fighting a fish, potentially burning the line, etc. There are some commercial hooks with a swivel built through the eye of the hook, but those seem to be all pretty bulky which is not really what you want when finesse fishing. Thanks for all the great videos and info.

Big cox don't need FFS

I tie that overhand, or granny knot for the weight. But tungsten weights aren't cheap so I don't want to lose any of them. Thanks Miles. ✌️

Thanks Miles. ✌️

how do the baits hold up to the bite and catch?

How is your daughter

I have never lost a weight since I started using the long cylinder style, and I exclusively use the clip style even with tungsten even though it's more expensive than the hook. But are you tying a knot then sticking it in the clip.

Positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family -- thank you for inviting us on your journey -- we can all learn from Rylee and her resilience

You could just not lube the line when you attach the weight.

but during this video, you're not wearing the dji mic 2.

I pour my own dropshot weights, but i put the swivel in the mold backwards....so the pinching part is in the lead, and the the round part is exposed. Then i use a small snap to attach the weight to the line. That way if conditions change to where i want a lighter or heavier weight, its quick and easy to change the weight.

I stopped using the clip and just tie the weight onto the line

I agree with the clip weights being a pain. I started to open up the clip & tie a knot and it seems to work just fine. Just a simple knot like an overhand and that breaks away easy. Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍

Brah just tie it instead of clipping it simple problem solve 😂

I use normal or tungsten bullet weights. I slide on..then use couple bobber stops to hold it on..but can still pull it off if need be

I'm cheap, I use the old water gremlin tear drops... I've slung off too many of those clip ones

I open them up a little and tie an overhand knot like you stated. Or just open it up free rig style and tie it. I don't care about retying the drop shot because it is safe to check your line past the hook. I got my butt waxed because i didn't fish the dropshot correctly for smallmouth in Goby infested waters. I'll tell the correct technique if I get enough likes or comments. Here is a backdrop my fish TBF National Qualifier, and it just so happened that the no boater had the exact same setup as me as if he broke into my boat and seen what I had tied on. No boater 16 boater 1 I learned a very valuable lesson 30 minutes into fishing and was too stubborn to adapt and learned a bigger lesson by days end, learn to humble myself.

Forgot to mention. I use spin shot hooks which have a separate line to the weight.

I'm a senior bank fisherman and fish the drop shot very often. I never use the pinch style weights. They break the line. Also, I use 4 lb test for the sinker line and 6 or 8 lb test fluro on the reel. This way I normally only lose the sinker when hung up.

🙏 ❤

Either or. I tie both of them on.

I’ve never had the clip fail before, but I never trusted it as it was designed. I tie a single overhand knot on the last 1/2 inch of line and put the weight above it. I also put a little crimp on the line above the weight to compromise the leader.

just started fishing the drop shot. good info for me. now off to buy more tackle.

Just open that clip up a bit and tie on.😀

I’m a big time drop shot guy. I use the clip weights and I lose some occasionally but it seems fair enough. Since with a drop shot you’re probably using a braid to fluoro leader, losing weight is better than losing a foot or two of your leader. I won a tourney yesterday on a drop shot. I lost two weights all day. One I had to break off so I lost the bait and hook too. Not the fault of the weight. I set the hook in a brush pile and got the hook buried into something that wasn’t a bass. lol.

I use a pair of split ring pliers to open them up. I pretie my rigs using a swivel hook and a dropshot clip that way I can change out weight and if I snag I just brak off and only need 1 knot to tie . I store them in poly bags

Totally agree. I was losing more clip weights casting than I was snagging. I figured I must be doing something wrong. I’ve been using the standard cylinders all the way up to an ounce depending on the current. I try to stay as light as possible.

I like the closed eye ones cuzz they can be used for free rigging and free shooting. Can’t use the clipped ones for these techs. Would rather carry one style.

I do not like the clip design

I use the one that has the swivel , paint em black done deal

all i use thos now too clips are frustrating.. Free rig is so good love it with elaztech

"I don't want to bash an individual brand..... but gopro sucks." Lol

I would never advise anyone to Texas rig elastic baits. I have had horrible luck because somtimes the hook won’t pop out and penetrate enough into the fish

Did you use a specific custom mount the Livescope transducer. I like the flexibility and ease of changing between down scan and forward scan

Im right handed and i use left hand retrieve bait caster. Its awesome, cast with right hand and dont have to switch hands

At times I find the fish want lighter weights and other times it's heavier weights

Looks like fun! What was the dark thing swimming past your boat on the left side near the 10 minute mark?
