This is some cool fishin, grabbed another nice one in 18" of water on the first try this morning. This time he took it hard and ran. Hit it so fast (as soon as the weight hit the bottom) he almost caught me off guard. 8-)

Nice having another weapon in the arsenal.

Congrats. What plastic were you using?

A small shad swim bait about 3" long.

Hooked thru the bait and out the top.

Drop shotting uses an upward jerk and then a drift back down by gravity, and while it's usually done vertically, fan-casting stump fields, casting under docks and around laydowns works, obviously.

Line for dropshotting rocks? I rely on Sufix Seige and Elite... both are abraision resistant. (Sufix website offers a $6 rebate coupon for 2 spools through 9/15. Go to sufix.com an click USA, then look for the coupon link.) That's what I used on a fly-in lake in Ontario a few weeks back... full of chunk rocks and jagged boulders, and it held up great under the abuse.

But no matter what you use, check your line for nicks every so often and retie when you detect abrasion or risk losing a pig like Steezy's.
