I have tried drop shoting a dozen times or so with out any real success.
also I don't have a rod set up specifically for DSing .I just try an rig up
a bass rod with whatever I have in the boat .The bait I use is usually a
senko or some sort of lizard . The common theme in all this is "no fish" If
you were rigging a rod for a first time beginner what would you recommend
.rod length and power- line size- sinker weight- type, size and brand of
baits you all prefer Thanks guys

When I started to fish it, I started catching fish.

I can't remember the last time I went bass fishing and didn't use a drop
shot at least some of the time. It's a staple technique for me. I may not
throw a crankbait for a month, and I don't use a spinnerbait every time
out. But I ALWAYS try the DS.


I had never caught any DS fish myself...Until Rich Z gave me some
first hand lessons. Come to think of it, I owe a lot of what I know
(about catching bass) from that man...Flippin 'nut, fishin deep jigs,
etc.

As for equipment, I use a 6', fast action, light power spinning rod,
2500 size spinning reel w/ 6lb test line, Lunker City 3/8 oz drop shot
weight (heavier if it is windy and I am having trouble feeling bottom)
and I still have a thing for Gil's belly shad drop shot baits.
