How affective is dropshoting and what do you use for bait. I heard power worms is good.. New to this type of fishing, I like to jig fish with 2lb test , but want to try something different.. Would like to read all responses and educate myself .. thanks fellow fishermen for all your input...

drop shotting a pink power worm = success, if you can get some black shads then those work also, and dont forget the cheese ones.... ahhh theres just too many to choose from... drop shotting is the way to go my brotha!!!

I use Lip Ripperz trout worms and they are great for the dropshot rig! I use 3lb pline and a 2-3 foot leader. Hope this helped!!! Oh yeah try it wacky style!

i als agree, power nymphs and power wormes always do the trick for me as well as little trout tubes with a power worm trailer is a killer. The ticket is to bounce it really slow drag it twitch it as slow as can be and the rest issss fun!....go get em

I do both jigs and powerworms. Prefer to jig but really depends on the water your fishing. Drop shot is killer with the powerworms pink and orange. Funny I was the other way 1st drop shot then went to jigs. the best is get 1/16 with weight and jig combo. some crappie jig bodies from bass pro then trail with a powerworm for action! KILLER. You have way more choices if you do it this way then buying them already done.

Set Up the drop shot like you do for Bass? I was gonna try 3/16 bullet with a red pearl bead between it an the worm, Berkley 3 '' [orange peel] on a small crappie [gold] hook set up weedless?...
1/16oz weight, and no need for the bead. Otherwise just like for bass, but don't rig it weedless. I like Gamakatsu egg hooks and size 10 or 8 owner mosquitos, but I am sure others will chime in with their choices.
