Augertail Worms On Drop Shot

[catchnm]

I caught a ton of fish on these in the 80's. Is anyone using the Manns Augertail worms lately? I'm thinking of digging out my stash and try them on a drop shot rig, or even back to the way I used to fish them....,with spinning tackle on a 1/16 oz. tex rig.

I have a stash of them myself and I also have nice collection of the Manipulator worms. The Augertails I have in 1 color, motoroil and while I haven't used them on a dropshot I have caught a lot of fish on it with a shaky head. The only reason I wouldn't use it on a drop shot is it doesn't float so that big tail wouldn't have too much action but not having tried I couldn't say for sure but on a shaky head all but a few fish came when I picked it up and let it fall, not many just using the shaking method so the tail action is what makes this worm attract fish but if you try it let us know if you have success.

The drop shot is designed for leaving in one place and shaking isn't it? I mean, that's the way I usually fish it. S_L_O_W_L_Y. I do move it a few feet before I move on to the next cast, but not much. Pick the spot that looks most productive, shake it up, and move on to the next one. Or make multiple casts to the same spot if the freaking Okie wind isn't howling.

I'm tired of the Okie wind turning into Arkie wind!!!!
