BenoBreath Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Planning to use tiny brush hogs as a dropshot bait. Has anyone dropshotted with them before ? The baits have a thin body. What size hooks did you use ? Thanks for all replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Sam Posted May 3, 2009 Super User Share Posted May 3, 2009 Nope, but you can drop shot any bait you want. Give it a try and let us know how it performs. Should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User eyedabassman Posted May 3, 2009 Super User Share Posted May 3, 2009 All brush hogs are good! Also try the Zoom Mini lizards they are great on a drop shot or a jig head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 3, 2009 Super User Share Posted May 3, 2009 You can drop shot with anything. Long before the age of plastics we rigged live minnows or nightcrawlers, this method was known as a "chicken rig", and still called that today for saltwater use with cut bait. Before you tie up your sinker, take a separate leader line, attach a hook then tie a swivel on the loose end. Take the eye of the swivel and put it thru the leader then attach your sinker, you now have a " trolley rig", great with live bait. Dropshotting is merely a new name for these age old techniques.

Super User DINK WHISPERER Posted May 3, 2009 Super User Share Posted May 3, 2009 3/0 EWG Gammy hooks or as a jig trailer for me. Never used them for drop shot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i am talking about the 4" hogs. Is there a smaller one out there? Is that what he is referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pack but haven,t used them yet but it does look like a great d-shot bait. If I did T-rig it would prob use a size 1 hook.It's pretty small.
