It’s raining today at the James so I won’t be able to go live right now. I’ll be in touch. Possibly tomorrow I can make it happen.

So on alot of the lives/round tables i got asked what an above a shot is so here is a picture and a break down
I use a heavy dock skipping rod usually 7ft 7’6
65 pound braid (any decent flipping stick will work)
3/0 straight shank flipping hook tied palomer with the line back through just like a drop shot then I will take and put a bobber stop on the tag line end..
Next I usually use a 3/8 to a 3/4 oz bullet weight (Depending on depth/cover) .. and on the end I use a swivel tied on by a another palomer knot (so the weight will not come off and helps with line twist) then I let the weight rest on the swivel, run the bobber stop to the bottom of the weight to peg it..
I use this In areas where it is extremely heavy cover but I still want some finesse or when the bottom is muddy/gunk..
just a different approach to flipping heavy cover to keep bait suspended.. lure of choice is a Zman fatty z most of the time but experiment.. (works best in muddy to stained water)
