i'm finally going to try dropshotting and would like some advice on what people on this site recommend to use? thanks

The only success I've had dropshotting was using a 4" Jerry's Best ringworm.  But that's the only time I've seriously fished that way.

  Reaction Innovations 4.5" Flirt worm, Berkley Hand-Poured Curly Tail worm, Yamamoto 4" Kut Tail worm, and Zoom Finesse and Trick worms.

I think anything works, just put your favorite bait on and try it out.  You can eve use jig skirts.

My favorite bait on the drop shot is the 5" Mann's Hard Nose Finesse Worm in green gourd color. This bait has accounted for many many smallmouth for me since I started using it in September. One worm will usually survive 10-15 fish! I've only gone through 1 pack (15 worms) in almost 3 months.

I like Robo worms, killer action when nose hooked.

I like to use handpoured soft plastics for dropshotting because of it's softness and most of them float. I also like other salt lures for drop shotting like a cut tail, small trick worm, meathead, and a slider worms. It just depends on what I am trying to do for the situation.

I like to use Robo worms, in the 4.5" length, in either shad, or margarita mutilator.  Just make sure you cast it around structure, and jiggle the line, don't just reel it in.  And sometimes reeling it in slowly is a good way to entice the fish to strike, and covers more water.  ;)

Any soft plastic will work, use YOUR favorite.

I have had good luck recently with the GYCB

6 1/2" Kut Tail.

Poor Boy's Goby, Erie Darter, DS Darter.

Slim senko's, and a secret lure of mine, that hasn't been used by many for YEARS.

Any soft plastic will work but I like 3-4.5" no salt baits because they float. The 2 main baits I use are a 3" Berkley DS worm (discontinued) in smoke or a 3" DS minnow that I hand pour myself similar to the Hawg Shad. I use to use the Hawg Shads and still have some but they are expensive so I make my own.
