Shield-lake dropshot

[singingdog]

I have been focusing more on drop-shot for big, finicky smallmouth. I am wondering what other folks that might be fishing shield-lakes are using for drop-shot baits. I have been using 4" senkos and small trick worms with some success. Anything else I should try?

I'm gonna be trying a 3" YUM money minnow this weekend...looks ultra natural and has a very nice finesse action. Hopefully will have a report to post on it

3 1/2 FinS minnow or 3 1/2 Gulp minnow

... a semi-realistic minnow bait on a drop-shot rig???... whod'a ever thunk it???... now all we have to determine is what color?... white?... shad... chartreuse... or pink????

 

 

... has anyone ever thought of using a live minnow on a drop shot rig?

Yep, 30 plus years ago. Then when I was 7, I stopped using bait, and started fishing like a man.

I'll try to snap a pic of her sitting down to a delicious dinner of fried fish....she's not ready to leave her precious baby behind, nor is she willing to let me bundle the little munchkin up and take her with us.

the baits you are using are good. stirke zone slammers work great too . i usually use a longer lead between the hook and my bait up to 4 ft . if drop shot doesnt work try shaky head with the same worms
