Dropshot starter kit

[Jakes]

Hi Jakes, dont waste much money on all these fads. Cammo worm (for bottom/reef grazers) and (med) Jerk Shads if you see the sprats are cooking.
 
Will be bringing a variety you welcome to try/use all till you decide if its for you and you see what works.
 
Save as much money as possible for beer!!!!

  ... I like the way you think Clive ... 

I'll just get 1 or 3 packets with some jigheads then ...  ,

So off I went to Mias in Fourways earlier today to stock-up on some drop shot lures and jigheads and GOEIE  was I in for a surprise. Here's what I wanted to buy but the costs just seemed waaayyyyyy to expensive, were they trying to rip me off or is this really what the stuff costs:

1/4 oz Nitro Jigheads x 1 = R97.50
1/2 oz Nitro Jigheads x 1 = R97.50
3/4 oz Nitro Jigheads x 1 = R97.50
1 oz Nitro Jigheads x 1 = R115.00
Tub of 2" Berkeley Camo worm x 1 = R370.00
Packet of 4" Berkeley Camo worm x 1 = R140.00
Packet of 5" Berkeley Blood worm x 1 = R140.00
Packet of 2" or 3" Berkeley shrimp x 1 = R140.00

A whopping total of almost R1200 for an entry level ...  ... that is almost double what I paid for my new rod, reel and braid ... 

Are these prices realistic? Any recommendation on where else to go and look?

Jakes that does seem a bit of a rip! The buckets in Benoni were about R250. As for the jigheads have a look at the mustad range they are much cheaper

Hi Clive,

Ek weet en ek waardeer dit, ek wou net nie met lee hande daar aankom nie. Het gedog ek kon 1 of 2 goedjies bygekoop het maar het nie besef hoe blerrie duur dit is nie. Ek dink ek sal maar dat jy en Deon my die ropes wys en dan ek so stukkie vir stukkie goed bykoop.
