My first thought if all my regular stuff failed would be a drop shot,

watermelon seed might do the trick, but don't be afraid to try blue,
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,

That Wiggle Rig looks pretty cool. I might have to get me one.
That crawdad video kinda makes me wonder if they've ever seen a crawdad
swim.
