Thanks, I will do that. My reel is spooled with 6# test. How important is that 2 #? Do I need to respool or do I just tie on like 20ft of 2#?

A 2 lb fluorocarbon leader is good enough but if you hook a big fish or toothy fish it will probably escape with your lure.

The lighter the line the better the small jigs cast. You can still catch them with 6 lb . You can slide your jig on your line and tie an overhand loop with the jig forming a dropper loop. Leave the tag end long and put a split shot on the end. You only want 6" of tagline below the jig. You can cast micro's or nymphs pretty far this way. It's like dropshotting . Just jig it back letting the shot touch bottom. I don't have much luck with the bobber/jig combo . I like Berkley Crappie tubes or olive bead head nymphs.

Thanks again fellas. I like the dropshot set up to really add casting distance

I gotta get my bobbers ready!
