smr_hga Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I've always just bass fished with a jig, crankbait, spinnerbait, etc, and believe it or not, i've never used a drop shot rig in my life. I'm getting kinda bored of catching fish the same way so why not learn something new, heck, it could even turn out to be super productive. So, can someone tell me how to set up a drop shot? 1 Quote

Super User Choporoz Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 Good luck! Cracks me up, though, that someone might suggest dropshot as a cure for boredom....LOL 4 Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 Gotta agree with you Chop, it's a toss up between drop shot and c-rig for the most boring way to fish. The only thing worse than either is trolling, or not fishing at all. 1 Quote

You're not the only one . I've been an avid bass angler for forty years and have never used a drop shot . Nor have I ever used a wacky worm , or a Shaky jig or alabama rig and others . 1 Quote

Super User Senko lover Posted October 27, 2015 Super User Posted October 27, 2015 Good luck! Cracks me up, though, that someone might suggest dropshot as a cure for boredom....LOL You might also suggest it for one of the best ways to catch fish under tough conditions....it ain't boring to me! Love how hard fish fight on a dropshot setup. Setting the hook on them is a lot of fun too. 1 Quote
jonnyblazex Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 All I know is if there are smallies in the waters you fish, and haven't tried the dropshot, you are really missing out! I have caught some hogs on it, and a 4 pounder will definatly fight harder than a musky. Quote
JohnnyF Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I actually like the drop shot now. I fish Lanier and the drop shot is killer here. Really fun to fight a big spot on a light action rod and light line Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Why not add T-rigged worn or craw to you techniques if you are a jig angler, they are closely related presentations. Drop shot requires lighter tackle, lighter line and different mind set to become a good finesse angler. Tom 1 Quote
