Tackle warehouse has a great selection of baits under "Drop Shot".

My favorite was a bait that was marketed by Culprit a few years ago that is a 3 " shad shape bait called a Zeal worm.

Closest things I can find are the Roboworm Alive Shad one and the Skinny Bear one. The GYBC shad shaped worm is somewhat similar.

In clear water I like a green with no flake, or is it's a heavy shad feed, a natural shad color.

If you're in Ohio and fishing the Great lakes, the goby imitations seem to be the deal.

When i drop shot i do it considerably different than most people. I tend to use bigger baits so i usually catch less but bigger bass than most. I fish very slowly and i keep the light line, usually 8 pound give or take 2 pounds. So my favorite drop shot bait is a 4-8 or even 10 inch ringworm, usually with a curltail.

Why? The ring of the worm displace water giving it some noise and when i let the worm float down on slack line, those ribs catch water and greatly slow the fall.

I like about a 3" natural colored minnow bait. Last year I had a the best luck on a Hawgshad 2.8" minnow but I used them all and could not find more. Now I have a soft plastic mold and just pour my own out of supersoft plastic. If the fish are really feeding a 2.5" fluke works real well.

I use zoom finesse worms and sometimes 4 inch lizards.  Just ordered some zoom meatheads to try out this year.
