drop shotting
I was getting frustated in not getting too much action the last few days so i
tried a drop shot rig for the first time. I was using power pro, swivel, split
shot, worm hook. I tied the worm hook above the split shot using the swivel. It
didn't work well at all, The hook tangled with line holding the split shot. No
bass i know would hit it under those circumstances. From what i'm reading in
the group you should use a light line and small hook. Will this eliminate the
tangle problem. Also is the process to cast and retrieve slowly with long
pauses or a light fling and ease it back gently to the boat.. |

| Get rid of the swivel. The only place I use swivels in the last 15 years of
pro bass fishing is on a carolina rig and there it functions solely as a
sinker stop. I do use snaps often however. Spoons and cranks mostly.
For the DS rig.
Tie a small hook directly to the line using a Palomar knot and have a long
tag. 24"+. After you tie the palomar feed the line back through the eye
again so that the hook rides point up on the line. Then put your weight on
the bottom at the desired distance.
As for retrieve. Crawl, shake, pause, any number of things. All depends on
what the little guys want that day.
