Drop Shot Bait Would You Use This?

Featured Replies

I picked up a pack of Cabin Creek leeches and they look killer for a drop shot rig. Does anyone have any experience with these? Let me know what you think.

Probably the very first "dropshot baits" were reapers which look like leeches, you be the judge if the leeches you got may work for dropshotting.

 

Besides, you will never know if you don´t try.

I just found a picture of them, looks like they would be a really good multispieces lure. I bet they are especially great for smallmouth and walleye. Let us know how they perform.

They'll work....  I haven't used them personally, but I've used other Cabin Creek plastics, and they work well. These have all the elements of a good DS bait.

This is similar to a Zipper Reaper and should work good nose hooked with a size 1 mosquito hook.

Don Iovino offers the original Reaper through TW if interested.

Definitely agree with all the above. Good choice that should provide you with plenty of action.

One of the only Gulp! products I use are their 5" leeches, nose hooked on the drop shot. Never had much success on the myriad of other Gulp! products though, but the leeches do produce. These are also good for smallies in the early spring when they are up shallow. Rig them on a 1/8 oz. plain ball head jig, with the leech nose hooked. Slow roll swim it just off the bottom. It works. :)
