2lb Deep Drop

2 lb · Deep drop weight

The middle of the deep drop range, and the weight most days actually call for.

Deep dropping is a weight-management problem before it is a fishing problem. Too light and current sweeps you off the number before the bait ever lands; too heavy and you are fighting the lead instead of the fish all the way up.

Two pounds handles typical Gulf shelf and Atlantic drop conditions. Step up when the drift tells you to.

Rig on a breakaway so a hang-up costs the lead and not the whole rig.
