Dropshotting

I know dropshot is mainly a clear water technique, but has anyone here
ever fished it in stained or dark water? if so what color worms seem to
work best.

Dropshot started out as clear deep water. But any worm that works in
stained water will work on a dropshot rig. Works well in the stain.

My "version" of drop shotting works in even ZERO visibility water, the
reason is the equal, and natural vibration you "can" put on a lure, of
course a dark lure helps when they get close to it, But white, and
silver (shad) also produces well.

I drop shot a lot, my home lake usually crystal clear, but we do get
stained and even muddy water after big rains. I don't think there is a
water condition prohibiting drop shotting. The darker the water the
closer to cover I put it. Black bass tend to hold to submerged wood
more in darker water. The darker the water, the brighter the plastic,
like bubblegum, strawberry, yellow on black, or high contrast like
black on bright blue, white & black, solid black, solid white. I opt
for GULP worms in the dirtiest water, or other worm brands having
impregnated attractants. There's no better time for a stinky
attractant. The darker the water the noisier the worm. I use paddle
tails, ribbon tails, any type that will give off a little extra
vibration when lifted a little. In clear water I mostly use earth tone
colors like watermelon red, pumpkinseed red, whatever best imitates
the forage, like crayfish, baby bass and shad colors.
