black, and yes... hot pink.

But your so limited with what actions you can place on a lure with a drop
shot rig :-)


Why would you use a wiggle rig when drop shot rig is what is called for?
After all you are the one that said they are not the same thing. LOL.


I have never seen the conditions where the drop shot even got close to
the Wiggle rig in catching fish, when fished side by side. They are very
different, the drop shot rig can not put equal vibrations into a lure.
Thus the action on the lure is not natural. The drop shot rig is very
good at catching fish, no doubt about that, at certain times, it just
limits your lure control, it gives you more than other bottom rigs,
that's for sure, but the Wiggle rig takes it a huge step forward.

I can totally mimic the action of drop shotting with the Wiggle rig, if
I want to, but no one with a drop shot rig can mimic the actions
possible with the Wiggle rig. The Wiggle rig gives the fisherman total
control of his lures movements, from just a tiny amount,(even down to
the heart beat of the fisherman being transfered to the lure) to the
panic wiggle of an injured bait fish.

But basically the reason is this
I can't do this with a drop shot rig,
