Title says it all. I figure it may be something that  the bass havent seen before. If so, other than a dropshot how do you like to rig em'?

yes I have. It works. We have a fish around here, mostly in creeks and streams called a sculpin. Basically a gobie.

I ds and shaky them. It does work.

A bait doesn 't have to mimick anything in particular a bass could find to eat where it lives to be effective.

I use a lot of 'dad baits in ponds that have no 'dads ( never have and never will have ) and they catch fish.

Obviously your right about that raul.  I was just wondering if anyone actually had any outside the box uses that I wasnt aware of.

Many northern lakes have sculpins, which are similar to gobies.  And most fish are simply opportunistic - if it looks like food, it must be food, eat it.

Exactly.  They work fine in sculpin waters rigged on shaky jigs.

Sure they work. They are a fairly decent imitation of bullheads, which are common in just about all bass waters.
