JunkYard814 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Title says it all. I'm trying to get into dropshot fishing, and I was wondering what you guys like to tie on. Quote
wisconsin heat Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I've been catching the heck out of bass with a Berkley powerbait twitch-tail minnow! I also use finesse worms and such but this bait has been golden the last month or so. Quote
BryanM Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I was thinking of getting Strike King KVD Dream Shot. Does anyone have luck with these? Quote
Bk4 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Minnow - lunker hunter bento minnow in dance and zoom tiny fluke in baby bass. Creature - keitech hog impact 3" in cola and tiny brush hog in watermelon red Lizard - zoom mini 4" lizard your choice of color Straight tail worm - roboworm 6" your choice of color. Senko - gary yama 3" 4" 5" your choice of color. Hook- owner mosquito hook or Vmc spinshot Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted July 3, 2013 Super User Posted July 3, 2013 I will drop shot just about any thing, but when times are tough and I just NEED to catch a fish, a nose hooked zoom tiny fluke comes through time and time again. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted July 3, 2013 Super User Posted July 3, 2013 Finesse worm has become one of my favorites. Rigged on a 1/0 weedless OR Wacky. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I was thinking of getting Strike King KVD Dream Shot. Does anyone have luck with these? Yes, they are great. The SK KVD finesse, and fat baby finesse also work well. Quote
Brian6428 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Not very common, but i like the 4.75 inch berkley havoc bottom hopper in black. Nice and cheap, too. Quote
Rusty Shackleford Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Robo's - Straight tail, sculpin, and zipper worm, misc smaller tubes, and here recently, PTL's hammer shad. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted July 3, 2013 Super User Posted July 3, 2013 I am usually nose hooking the 4 1/2" Robo worms on the drop shot. Followed by 3" Sluggos and then Case Helgrammites. If you do not get bit on either of these, there are no fish where you are fishing! Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted July 3, 2013 Super User Posted July 3, 2013 Yes, they are great. The SK KVD finesse, and fat baby finesse also work well. x2 I really like the Dream Shot. It is soft though and doesn't last long. Invest in some mend-it while you're at it. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 x2 I really like the Dream Shot. It is soft though and doesn't last long. Invest in some mend-it while you're at it. This is very true. I've found that I can get a bit more life out of them if I first hook them through the bait with the point of the hook in the plastic, then switch to a standard nose hooking after a fish or 2. I don't think I've ever caught more than 2-3 fish before the bait was destroyed. The fat baby finesse are a larger profile and seem to be more durable while still providing the delicate action of the dream shot. These are my go to ds worms when fishing in current/tidal water or dead sticking. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 PowerTeam Lures 3.6" JP Hammer Shad. Killer little baitfish imitator, loaded with scent, durable as heck, and it floats, unlike some previously mentioned baits like the dream shot and kut tail worms. Sometimes something that sits like a real baitfish does gets more bites instead of hanging down from your hook at a 45 degree angle because its full of salt. Quote
Super User webertime Posted July 3, 2013 Super User Posted July 3, 2013 Whiskey River whiptail. Strike King 3x finesse worms (elaztech stuff keeps the rats and panfish from stealing them) . Quote
ChrisAW Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Zoom Z-Drop in Morning Dawn and Watermelon Red has been killing them for me lately. I have yet to be skunked if it comes down to throwing a drop shot after I fish everything else first. Quote
alexandboi Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 4 1/2 in straight tail roboworm and 3 in *** bento minnow. Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Strike King 3X Finesse worm 4.5". By far my favorite!! Quote
JunkYard814 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 Looks like I've got some shopping to do. Quote
annexation Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 4.5" Straight tail roboworms have been my go to. Quote
JeziHogg Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Roboworms and x3 Strike King Worms for my longer baits Powerbait Twitchtail minnow for my smaller ones Quote
loodkop Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I have had success with squirrel tails after running out of finesse worms in a tournament. I now start out with them. Quote
JeziHogg Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Almost forgot to mention, Strike King Dreamshot works well too Quote
