I tested the Hopper dropper rig.
Use some small jerkbait, removed back trebel and tied a 1/64th jig on the back with a lil stonefly nymph plastic.
Sunnies were all on the jig but nothing bit the jerkbait. Was only fishing a creek which I've yet to find trout in.
Problems: The jerkbait slowly sunk because of the small weight added, I bet a floating rapala would have floated better,a and not this cheap thing from mtb
And Line got tangled a bit with the trebel hook but normally just after a missed hookset. Easy to fix.
I was thinking about making my own topwater lure with a nerf dart. Something very buoyant that can act like a jerkbait and also hold a hook.
I'll see how a rapala works out tommorow.
