I don't have much experience fishing this method. Do you guy like to use a three way swivel or just tie the hook of the polmer knot?

I would think your bait would have a little more action with a leader of the swivel.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance fellas

VMC spin shot hooks and call it a day.

i prefer gama drop shot hooks i believe size 1 tired directly /w a palomar knot. don't forget to run the tag end back through the front of the hook to keep the hook pointed upwards. i do not like the spin shot hooks but that's a personal preference. many on here like them.

Brian has the right idea. The VMC spin shot is all I use for DS.

I use a #4 thin wire circle hook. Regular palomar knot. I would recommend getting dropshot weights since its so easy to attach with no knot needed.

You'll want to play around with the leader length. I set the weight about 6" from the bait. The lake I fish isn't very deep.

I use 4 or 6" straight tail roboworms and I nose hook it.

One thing that I've noticed is to keep the bait fairly active. I shake about 3x then reel one or two revs and then repeat.

I like using the circle hooks because they don't gut hook the fish. When I get a bite I let the rod load and simply start reeling and let the hook and fish do the hook set naturally.

I've experimented with a senko rigged wacky and caught a pretty decent bass. I'd start with roboworms and the experimenting from there.

There's nothing like getting bit on a crank but when the bites tough this usually always gets bit. Good luck!

I'm gonna learn the dropshot soon and I'm about to buy some VMC spinshot dropshot hooks.  Just seems easier.  Or you could just go with the palomar with a long tag end tied to a D/S weight.

The gami swivel shot are my favorite. Little expensive but they work great.
