Gamma Tip From Darl Black:

To use braid or not to use braid? That is the question. For the summertime deepwater ‘gill and
‘seed bite as well as fall deepwater crappie bite, I employ a drop-shot presentation with guide
clients. Initially, my 7-foot BnM dropshot rods were spooled with 6-pound Gamma Panfish.
Then I considered my guests would more easily determine a bite if I spooled with 8-pound
Gamma Torque braid and a three foot Polyflex leader. But after two seasons I’ve come to the
conclusion that braid is not working. The copolymer leader and braid main line are constantly

tangling when fishing vertically and the line from one customer’s rod entangle with the line
from another customer’s rods as we drift and slow troll over cover. The resulting mess of
knotted braid and mono is difficult if not impossible to untangle. So starting this fall, I’m going
back to straight 6-pound Gamma Panfish Polyflex (copolymer) line on my panfish dropshot
rods. Remember, if it’s not working for you—change it!
