Wacky Dropshot

Featured Replies

Anyone else like this technique. Used it for first time last weekend and caught a mess, mostly dinks in a couple hours. I feel like it can be my new go to Co angler technique.

The weight gives you more precision on targetting underwater cover and it keeps the worm off bottom in their face.

Use it all the time. probably half the time I'm drop shotting its with a wackey rigged trick worm.

It's a good technique. I use the same worms I use on a regular wacky rig. My 2nd biggest fish was on a wacky dropshot using a dream shot worm.

Believe it or not, the best fishing I've ever had with a dropshot was with a wacky-rigged mustard-colored tube, of all things. I had a torn up tube sitting on the carpet, so I decided to toss it on the dropshot to see what would happen. It worked great. Since then, I've tried numerous baits wacky-style, and I have better luck rigging them that way vs. standard.

Yes, I love doing it. Two of my favorite finesse techniques (small wacky rig and dropshot) put together!

I like a wacky jighead. VMC makes good ones

What Glenn said times two.

 

You can use the wacky rigged plastic on a drop shot and it is a good presentation.

 

And don't be limited by the type of plastic. Go with lizards, grubs, brush hogs, crawfish, trick worms, finesse plastics and any of your favorite plastics rigged "Texas or Wacky" style.

 

Check out Glenn's video for more information.

 

All the best for a new personal best!
