airborne_angler Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Whats everyones Favorite Dropshot bait? Which bait has been most productive For dropshotting? Which has been least productive for dropshotting? Personally I dont really know if I have a Favorite,I do have confidence in a few: 3 Inch Berkley Dropshot worm(looks like a mini Senko) nowhere near as thick,just a tiny little worm. 3 Inch Berkley Ringworm specifically for Dropshotting 4.5 inch Kinami Cut tail Worm 4 inch Tiemco Skunk Series PDL Swimbait/dropshot (A japanese made bait) Ive run out of all the above,so now im into using a Lunker City Rascal Worm. Havent had many bites on it,but one bite came like a clap of thunder. Just hit it like a freight train. Just about doubled my rod over,and it turned out to be a dink. I think I may have been caught in the rocks when that fish struck. The cut tail worms,Lunker City Rascals and The JDM bait have all been used with Megastrike and though I havent caught any HUGE fish(largest being about 4.5#'s) Ive caught good numbers every outing.

SDoolittle Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Berkely Gulp minnow for numbers, but my biggest drop shot bass came on the back half of a broken trick worm. Quote
Bass XL Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 My all time favorite is a 4" GYCB cut tail in red. It's probably one of my biggest producers for the simple fact that it works wonders in any water clarity; especially clear water. Quote

Super User Fishes in trees Posted October 14, 2010 Super User Posted October 14, 2010 This year, my best drop shot bait has been some kind of a senko imitator. A Berkley Gulp sinking minnow, or a Bass Pro Sticko, or a Dinger or a Chompers. Something like a senko, but not as fragile. I've experimented with numerous rod & reel set ups this year - spinning and bait casting. The most productive by far has been the Bubba drop shot rig - a flipping stick - 20 lb fluorocarbon line and a half ounce weight. I've not had nearly as much success when I've tried to go lighter in line or rod action or weight. Quote

Super User Munkin Posted October 14, 2010 Super User Posted October 14, 2010 The same 3" Berkley DS worms you are using. They are discontinued so I constantly look for them on ebay. Allen Quote
airborne_angler Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 The same 3" Berkley DS worms you are using. They are discontinued so I constantly look for them on ebay.Allen I was able to find them a few years ago in a 100ct bag. They were packaged as "seconds" from ffo.com. I should have stocked up. Man I miss those worms. I think the Berkley Powerbait Trout worms are the same thing. Quote
