Drop shotting....It sucks!!!! I cant catch a fish to save my life on a drop shot rig.
I find it crazy that so many people have had poor luck with a drop shot rig. I find it to be my go to rig when I need to get fish in the boat. I dont really use the conventional setup however, Light line, light action, small hook. I have only had good luck with the stated setup on Lake Erie Shottin' for smallies. Largemouth on the other hand, I use a med heavy rod, 20 lb test, 2 ot worm hook, 3/4 ounce weight, and a 4 inch green pumpkin/black flake senko. I have to most like fishing the edges of weed beds, but I am one of the few poeple on my circut that actually flip this set up. Actually I am pretty sure I am the only person that flips it. :mrgreen: And I am very happy about that =D> I actually had someone fishing in my boat once that I schooled and he said "this is not even fair, your practically using live bait". Cant beleive I am giving up my secret!? [-X
As for rig that was most unproductive has to either be a swimbait, which from what I understand, is not very popular in my region, or topwater baits. I did not catch a single green fish on any type of top water rig other than a frog. Maybe it is just in my presentation :roll:
