chromedog Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I want to pick up a good minnow imitation for drop shotting. Anyone have any feed back on: Roboworm Alive shads Yamamoto Shad shaped worm Tiny Fluke Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 7, 2011 Super User Posted July 7, 2011 There´s a ton of good baits from where to choose however the reason why I wouldn´t choose either of the baits you mention is that for me they are too small, I would rather pick Zoom Super Flukes, Bass Assasin Shad Assasin, Wave Worms Shaddick, LFT 4.5 Live Magic Shad, Yum Houdini Shad, stuff like that. If I were to D-shot with small baits ( hoping not having to ) then to those you mention I would add the same I mention but in smaller sizes. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 7, 2011 Super User Posted July 7, 2011 The second two you listed are baits that have worked well for me. Quote
hatrix Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I have been killing them with gulp minnows this year. There durability is some what of a issue for me since they are only good for a couple fish. I started using the bigger ones last week cause the BG and RES wouldn't leave me alone. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted July 7, 2011 Super User Posted July 7, 2011 Shad Shape Worm is my #1 DS bait, far and away. I rarely use anything else unless it's a very specific case. Quote
midnighthrasher Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Jackal crosstail and pintail shad. By far the best that i have used Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 8, 2011 Global Moderator Posted July 8, 2011 I like the Berkley power minnow. Similar in shape to the Gulp minnow but more durable and fish don't swallow it as fast. Doesn't seem to attract catfish as much as the gulp does either. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 8, 2011 Super User Posted July 8, 2011 Catt doesn’t finesse fish Roboworm’s FX 6” Sculpin: Aaron's Magic - Green with blue neon stripes and brown belly. Shh it’s a secret! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 8, 2011 Super User Posted July 8, 2011 LOL @ Catt - ANYTHING from Roboworm in Aaron's Magic is the stuff. 1 Quote
rooster123 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I just started using panic minnows. Comes in a lot of different colors. Works great. Quote
via Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 jackall crosstail shads are by far the best dropshot bait in my tackle box. Quote
BossHoss Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I second the jackall crosstail shad and anything from roboworm. I disagree with the post above that you have to go big on a drop shot rig. Some of the biggest bass I have caught (several ranging 6.5-8.5) were caught on very small baits and hooks... my biggest drop shot bass yet was caught on the tail half of a 6in roboworm. 1 Quote

philsoreel Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Bass Pro Shops® XPS® Quiver Round Tail Minnow http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-XPS-Quiver-Round-Tail-Minnow/product/44686/-952680 These are the ones in the white bag that say hand-poured right? I think it is. They look amazingly real. That smokin ice is one of the best small minnow imitations I've ever laid eyes on. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted July 30, 2011 Super User Posted July 30, 2011 I've had excellent results with the 3" Sluggo, nose hooked. Quote

Thank god there is someone else out there that realizes this. I don't d-shot too much, but when I do, it's the Crosstail Shad Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted July 30, 2011 Super User Posted July 30, 2011 I have a few I like. Cross tail shad, Zoom tiny fluke, GYCB shad shape worm, Gulp minnow. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 30, 2011 Super User Posted July 30, 2011 Flukes in several sizes Roboworm 6" straight tails have always been a good producer Lake Fork Tackle Magic Shad Zoom Meathead Bass Magic Shaky Tail Rage Baby Craw Shad Shape Worm (costs a few extra bucks though) You can drop shot darn near anything and get bit, the ones listed above are pretty much my favorites though.

Alex_Mega Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 You can try with Berkley Powerbait 5", it's cheaper than yamamoto and more durable... GL Quote
