HUKDONFAWNIX Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hello everyone, Just wondering if you can help me out with a panfish drop shot rig? I tried to search the forums for some info and I didn't really find any. Does anyone know how to set it up? What do I need? What works best for you? Thanks in advance!

HUKDONFAWNIX Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Can you be more specific? What's the weight of the sinker? Size/type of hook? Do you have any pics of this set-up? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeie Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 with mine i use size 8 to size 6 hooks, and the weight depends on the depth, but normaly anywhere bettween 1/4 to 1/2 ounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyHerc Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've been making panfish "drop-shot" rigs before drop-shotting came to North America. I tie them two ways: one, just like a regular drop-shot with a palomar knot to a size 6 or 8 aberdeen hook, or a similar sized octopus hook. I then nose hook either a tube jig, plastic minnow, live minnow, or leech. The second way is to either use a regular sinker or tie a 1/8 oz marabou jig to the bottom, and tie one or two dropper loops up the line. Attached to each mainline is a either a tube jig or bare aberdeen hook. The marabou version works very well under a float as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
