Favorite Fishing Style: Drop-shotting
Tips: The beauty of the dropshot rig is in its simplicity, but the appeal of the rig is in its versatility. Plainly stated, some version of the dropshot can and will be effective in virtually any bass fishing situation.
Don't get me wrong, I didn 't say it's always the best thing to be throwing at any given time; But it will produce fish in an incredibly wide array of circumstances.
First, abandon any preconceived notions that you have about the rig. Just as spinnerbaits were not long-ago thought to be strictly a lure for probing shallow water cover, limiting the dropshot's use to deep, clear, vertical, finesse situations would be a grave mistake. The rig has also been touted as a stationary presentation, yet another misconception. Fact is, the dropshot rig can be effectively employed virtually anywhere, any time, with the sole exception of extremely stained/muddy water. It shines in clear to moderately stained conditions. I - ll go out on a limb & call it the absolute best clear water soft-plastics presentation you can use. It's especially effective for targeting - pressured - fish, a nice wildcard to play when fishing competitively.
