Any recommendations for a drop shot bait for very clear water? I think I'm going to try the bento minnow, any other baits though? 

What size hooks?  

One of my favorite baits for drop shotting in clear water is the Yum Warning shot. I like Watermelon candy on sunny days, and green pumpkin on cloudy days. I nose hook them on a VMC #2 spin shot hook. 

My favorite drop shot bait is the Strike King Dream Shot in ghost shad and dirt. They have a great action especially with the shape of the tail.

Straight tail roboworm gets the nod from me. Has never let me down.

Lunker City Ribster in maybe their "clear water" color.

Jackall cross tail shad

 

Kietech's 3.5 Swing Impacts and the 4" Live Impact are both great dropshot baits. Use a #2 hook most of the time but have dropped down to a 4 before if needed.

6" robo worm straight tail

KVD Dream Shot in Watermelon has been my best producer.

Bassresource member A-jay steered me towards the Rage craw.  First time out you'll know why.  I've caught 4 times as many fish on the Rage craw than anything else.  In very clear water.

Dreamshot or a 4" Roboworm

Another one for Roboworm

Sculpin or Fx Worm in M,M. III

6" Roboworm or 5" Hags Tornado

Erie Darter Jr by Poor Boys

Mojo Salty Reefer

Another straight tail roboworm vote!

Molix Sator Worm in either Watermelon Gold Shad or Seducente, nose hooked, size 4 or size 2 hook.  Trust me on this one.

A couple of my favorites are the zoom centipede and gambler shakey shads.

Can't go wrong with the good ole roboworm. Don iovino worms on a drop shot also catch a ton for me but roboworms are my favorite

Zoom Z Drop is my #1

Roboworm straight tail and Zoom Fish Doctor. 

Roboworms, Berkeley gulp minnows, zoom trick worms

Berkely powerbait Twitch tail minnow. Also, YUM's new 4 inch dropshot worm, the one with the cut tail; the bass tore that up.

Roboworm or Jackal Cross tail shad.
