Title: Any drop shotters on here?
Post by: Hilltop123 on April 07, 2013, 07:56:12 AM: What soft baits are you using for this style of fishing? I ask because I have never tried it before. But have a few places I like to try it for walleye. Any help would be greatly appreiciated!

Post by: PolarBear on April 07, 2013, 08:13:11 AM: I have only fished with my own homemade worms for the past 33 years. My drop shot worm of choice is a 2 1/2" worm or 5" thin curly tail pinched down to 4". I mostly drop shot for smallmouth but occasionally hit a few largies on them as well. Favorite colors depend on water clarity and time of year. If trying it for walleye go for white or something chartreuse. For bass I like watermelon, motor oil, shad/minnow colors or pumpkin seed varieties.

This might be a dumbbell question, but what is a drop shot?

Your hook is tied at 90 degrees to your mainline with a long tag end run back through the eye going to your weight. Basically hook is above the weight. You just shake your rod slightly leaving your led on the bottom, looks like a struggling bait fish.
