Your Favorite Drop Shot Bait?

Featured Replies

What is your favorite bait to use on a drop shot? I like the power team lures hammr shad the most. The tail floats so it is even with the head on a drop shot rig. I fish from shore so when I use roboworms the tail just sinks and I don't get any bites. I catch them on the hammer shad though.

I fish from shore too. Give the 4" Z-Man finesse wormz a try. They float really well and I always get a bite on them =0)

Another plus is they are d**n near indestructible. One pack goes a long way!

robo worm

Started fishing the Hammer Shad this year, very productive lure and my favorite as well for this application.

4.5 inch robo worm in MM3 or black grape

A homemade version of the Yamamoto shadshape worm or the squirrel tail worm produces for me.

PowerTeam Lures JP Hammer Shad recently, but I use to use the Berkley Gulp! Minnow in the 3-4" variety.

hard minnow bait? Do elaborate please.

Jackall Cross Tail Shad is my personal favorite, and doesn't get a lot of press around here.

Although I have had alot of sucess on a Baby Craw, the 3" single tail Grub, the Menace, and a half of a 7" Thumper on a drop shot, the bait I have and am using now catches more than all those combined. It's a Rage Tail prototype, and when it comes out, it's going to set the drop shot world on fire! It's killer!!!

Day in and day out a 4" finesse worm is hard to beat. Brand has never mattered, just what ever I like at that time. Zoom, robo, netbait, strike king, GYCB, etc.. I have caught good fish on all of them.

Zoom Finesse, GYCB Kut-tail.
