Monster Drop Shot Lures

Eish sorry for the confusion but you saying the big plastics would work well on ski or ski boat?

Yes to both, just with slower speeds on a ski a paddle tail would be more effective

I think Thommo's Tiggerfish lure would work as well out at sea

We talking big lures Doger those lures of Thommo are a third of the size.... may work for bait fish. I used a no 8 VMC hook and the hook looks tiny in the lure. Will see going to test in the sea soon. The lip (lead) I made is for trolling at a constant depth of 1m not jigging or poping. If my calculation and testing is correct should have some takes at sea.

I still don't see why the braided wire hook connected to the loop on the jig head wouldn't work, using a longer braided wire would leave the lure more freedom of movement, just my thoughts but will have to try it is a nice idea 
Mikes rig with the stainless steel wire is a stiff rig and looks good, just suggesting a non stiff rig, although I would change the connection to the jig head away from a couple of half hitches, maybe a loop and crimp arrangement. You could almost use a traditional Couta trace withthe trebles and a lipclip

Dodger cast the head with s/s braid (0.6mm)in it so as to give flex in lure... measured how far the hook comes out and used a crimp to secure it and as you would with a drop shot head just loop the hook in the front to the back of the lure. Still in the trial stage but your input is much appreciated thanks
