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.

If I cant get them to bite any of those, there will be no more drop-shotting that day.

Berkely Gulp minnow for numbers, but my biggest drop shot bass came on the back half of a broken trick worm.

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.

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.

Five, what direction are you rigging the X-tail Shad?  I've been nose hooking them, flat side up.

The same 3" Berkley DS worms you are using. They are discontinued so I constantly look for them on ebay.

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.
