BossHoss Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 What is everybody's favorite thing to put on that finesse hook? I know for me it has got to be fat roboworms... but I am looking to branch out. Quote

basscrusher Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I've been successful with many, but if limited to one choice...Zoom finesse worm, junebug in stained water, watermelon/red in clear water. Quote
endless Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I really like this question. I'm trying to get more into dropshots myself. I'm using *** 4" drop shot worms. Had hits just nothing to take due to my own fault not paying attention to the hits while working a wacky on another setup. I had a guy at BPS explain to me how to work dropshots and carolina rigs.

Super User ww2farmer Posted August 12, 2010 Super User Posted August 12, 2010 I have many, but if I HAD to pick one it would be a green pumpkin Zoom tiny fluke soaked in gulp juice. That thing will catch crappie and perch for the pan, keeper bass during a tournament when the bite is tough, and 5lb + Smallies. Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Anything 4"-5" in the Bold Bluegill color worm by Roboworm. When I just want to get bit I throw a 3" Creme Trout Worm that are $0.99 at wal mart. I have caught so many small bass on this worm, big ones too every now and then. Quote

BossHoss Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Are the people who like the swimbait or fluke type baits fishing those differently than say you would a worm on a drop shot? I know for me I get the best results just letting my worm sit for a few seconds then dragging it along the bottom for a few feet then letting it sit again. I fish in mostly shallow water so I am more horizontal anyway. I guess what I am asking is do you have to give non worm type baits more action or do they work just as well letting them sit? Quote

ib_of_the_damned Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 To those who have used the LFT Magic Shad as a drop shot bait, are you nose hooking it or t-rigging them? I have only t-rigged them a couple times, didn't really give it much of a shot... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 12, 2010 Super User Posted August 12, 2010 I fish the Live Magic Shad and Slug-Go on a #4 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook, nose hooked. 8-) Quote
NateFollmer Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Ah man, thats a tough question.... I have several answers: Worm: Luck E Strike 4 inch ribbon tail (either blue or purple (the blue smell awesome!)). Fluke: Whatever fluke I have in my box HA Skippy Fish makes a great product that I have been loving so far! Shad: Tru-Tungsten Depth Shad (yeah, it's kind of like a fluke, but who cares HA). I always nose hook my drop shots with octopus hooks (usually a size 1 or 1/0). You get more action out of doing nothing when you nose hook. I really need to start drop shotting more though. I'll admit, it's one technique I don't do enough and I should! Quote
I.rar Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Zoom Tiny Fluke (3") in baby bass color. x2. super fluke jr. i usually go for baby bass , but any natural color bait will do imo. Quote
gotarheelz14 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 the zoom magnum finesse are bad to tha bone!! Zoom Magnum Finesse Worms do the trick when the fish are biting pretty good. If you need to downsize and go, in my opinion, true finesse the regular Zoom Finesse Worms are excellent. I caught a really nice five pounder yesterday at my local pond with the Zoom Magnum Finesse Worm in Watermelon Red Carlos Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted August 12, 2010 Super User Posted August 12, 2010 Berkley realistix 4 inch minnow. Tough bait to come by though and I think they only sell them in the blister packs now that come with 2 pre rigged on jigheads and a couple spares.\ Kinami/Yamamoto kut tail worm 4 inch and 5 inch can't go wrong.
