Drop Shot

Ken, most use a spinning rod for drop shot. Since you are building your own
now I would use a 6'8-7'0 rod. Lite power fast action. Something that can
take 6-10lb. test.

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

One of my best days on the water last year was drop shotting. I had a
broke trolling motor, so I just positioned the boat on the upwind side of
a little back water lake and let the breeze push me across. I nailed fish
after fish after fish after fish that were suspended in and around grass
beds on the bottom. I lost count of how many fish I caught. I have even
used a drop shot in shallow water from the bank it will work on cruisers
too, although I still prefer a light weight t-rigged ribbon tail worm for
shallow cruisers.
