The next rapid, called "Gumdrop" AKA "Power Line" (II+), is a  two drop ledge rapid, dropping in total a few feet.  Eddies can be made between the first ledge and the second ledge on both the right and left, the right being the easier of the two. Peel out into the main flow and eddy after the second ledge drop on either the right or left. A small hole wave and a trailing diagonal surf wave form off the second ledge.
