I have run the same rigging for 15 years with great results.  Main line (12 braid) to a tiny black barrel swivel.  I pre tie my drop shot leaders and run the hook about 30 inches below the swivel.  I cut the tag from 6 to 24 inches depending on circumstances. I almost always run a cylinder weight .

I do the same, but with a much shorter drop to the hook.I learned the drop shot technique watching Bill Dance. He rigged it with a barrel swivel 12in.-18in. above the hook.  Been doing it that way since.
