ohiobassmaster93 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I'm gonna start drop shotin' this year and i was wonderin what some of your best baits are and the length would help to thanks Quote
AKFerzy7 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ive used em all but have caught some of my biggest on just a plain old finesse worm, zooms or berkleys hand poured. used to use just shad colors but have caught them on greens real good last year. Quote
Shadcranker Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 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. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 26, 2008 Super User Posted February 26, 2008 Zoom Meat Head, and the Robo worms. Quote
jrhennecke Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Roboworms in oxblood are good. 3" Senkos work also. Quote

hammer84 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Lucky strike finesse work most of last year. Started using Berkley Power minnows end of last year with success. Quote
HesterIsGod Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 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. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 27, 2008 Super User Posted February 27, 2008 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. Allen Quote
fisher of bass Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 i would love to learn how to dropshot, was looking at the roboworm 4.5 greenie peenie and hoping that would work, they look really good Quote
IDbasser Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I use zoom finesse worms and sometimes 4 inch lizards. Just ordered some zoom meatheads to try out this year. Quote
WCCT Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 My own hand poured drop shot worms and gobies and Panic Minnows. Quote
