Yes a drop shot is basically a perch rig if you need validation.

First, I found this site a couole of days ago and have been really impressed with the amount of active and helpful people on these forums. Second, thanks for some help on some basic transom checks. This is something that will take quite a bit of homework.... What about roughly a 1995 stratos 268? Does anyone have experience with these.

3500 to 4500 is probably my budget. A lot of the lakes are smaller, as most arr in Michigan.

first off, I love to fish. I've always fished out of a small 14 foot sea nymph that was my dads and that's what I fished out of my entire life. Now that I'm older, I'm looking to investing in a starter bass boat so to speak. I've been looking at some early to mid 90's Astro boats and I am wondering what people think of those boats. I realize that they no longer make them and replacement parts to the hard to come by, but it seems to be that most people really like them. I don't really know a lot about boats in general and im trying really hard to find myself a good deal. Any advice in what to look for? Advice of brands or certain models to stay away from? I really appreciate any info given.
