smallies24/7 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have my personal fav. dropshot baits for smallies. Just wondering what else works for you guys. Thanks! Quote
ROCbass Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 my favorite is a 3" senko. A lot of times instead of a dropshot weight, I'll use a tube with an inserted jighead to give myself an extra bait in the water and try to figure out of they're holding on the bottom (most strikes on the tube) or suspended (most strikes on the senko). Using this rig I've had days where they would only bite on one or the other, but I only got strikes when both were in the water. I could be killing them on the senko, but If i switched to a normal dropshot weight, no more bites. I've had the same happen by taking the senko away if hit on a good tube bite. Not sure, but I think this must have something to do with how the baits affect each other's action and fall rate. Quote

mod479 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 My first dropshot smallie was 5.5 lbs...on a berkley 4inch hand poured finesse worm. I'll let you worry bout the color selection... Quote
smallies24/7 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Haha ok guys. My personal favorites and the ones ive had the most luck on are sniper snubs and bolts and bass pro shops dr. fin eke worms. They are the best. (sniper lures are a hand poured bait they sell up here and they are great.) Thanks for the posts and keep them comin! I love hearing what you guys have luck with. Quote

It works pretty well. thanks for the feedback! Quote
