Drop Shot Bait

[Brnnoser6983]

In your opinions what makes your soft plastic dropshot worthy/deadly, and what do you use on your hooks

[Darren.]

I like a bait with a nice "tail end - something that

will shiver and shimmy without much work from

me moving the rod.

 

Roboworms, Yamamoto Shad Shape worms, etc., 

are good considerations.

[doyle8218]

Strike King KVD Dream Shot is my favorite.

[Catch and Grease]

The fact that I can present a weightless action but still be able to keep my bait in the same area for longer and present the bait above the bass is why I believe dropshotting is so deadly for me, and I can cast a 3/8oz dropshot a lot farther than I can cast a weightless grub or finesse worm.

Hunk of plastic + dropshot = fish catching machine.

[Brnnoser6983]

I think is always great to get input from other angles. I was going to buy a bunch of robo's (because it seems like a lot of people stick by them), but I love to get others insight.

But how many out there use a creature bait versus a worm m do they notice considerable difference?

[Angry John]

I have not had a bunch of luck on robos. I seem to do the best on the 2.75" tubes from dry creak. The small trick worms are good to.

well it really depends where you're fishing the dropshot, if you fishing clear deep water for smallies, a worm or baitfish replication bait will work best, but if you're fishing with a casting combo around fallen trees for largemouth and pitching it around cover a creature bait may be the best choice. All depends on the situation.

roboworms and small flukes have worked pretty good this past year for me.

Roboworm and Trick Worms

[Alpha Male]

I have had good luck with owner shivertail worms, squirreltail worms, damiki, and kvd dream shots.

You can use just about any soft plastic bait to dropshot with. My personal favorites include the Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper Jr., Missile Baits Fuse, as well as the Strike King Dream Shot and Baby Rodent.

I love to use roboworms basically any straight tail worm seems to work well. Wacky rigged senkos work, rage craws, basically any bait you put on  a dropshot has the potential to work 

 

               Tight lines

Just don't use the Roboworm in Oxblood/Red Flake.  Terrible color!

[Brnnoser6983]

I was looking at purple, shad, and green colors

[corn-on-the-rob]

1. roboworm fx sculpins are awesome

 

2. Power bait minnows

 

3. tubes

[fisherrw]

roboworm oxblood and margarita  are my fav i use vmc dropshot hooks

[stepchild]

Strike Zone Slammer/Swammer, 4" Zoom Finesse Worms, 3" Berkley GULP Minnows....all on Trokar SD hooks

[Fishes in trees]

My number one Bubba drop shot bait is a crazy legs chigger craw - green pumpkin party with chartreuse dye on the tips of the claws and the long loose antenna.  Second favorite is a Powerbait jerk shad that starts out as the Arkansas Shiner color and then I shade it in with chartreuse and orange and red spike it dye markers.

 

Finesse options are, in no particular order - Chompers centipede - 4" Berkley power bait drop shot minnows, and of several brands straight tail 4" to 5" worm.

[Felix77]

4" Powerbait power worm.

[A-Jay]

Because I am using it, if I didn't have any confidence in it, it wouldn't be in my rotation.
