Gamakatsu Offset
what are some good drop shot lures?
I have had good results with roboworms 3/16 weights and offset shank worm hooks made by gamakatsu.just wondering if there are other good ways of drop shotting
First of all, well, two things really: #1 Match the Hatch and #2 Use natural bait whenever possible.
Matching the hatch means presenting the fish with whatever they are currently eating in their environment. A fish has to recognize your lure as food and that means color, size, and scent. When choosing your next drop shot bait, look at Berkeley’s GULP and find something that looks like what your target species are eating. That means giving a natural appearance or…
Using natural baits is a lot like matching the hatch in that the goal is to present a realistic lunch or dinner to a fish. If you put a twinkie in front of a 13th Century Native American, he would probably not think it was food and certainly would not immediately think to eat it… same for the fish. Put a twinkie in front of any 6th-grader in the present-day US, and they will devour it. Do some research on what your target species eats, ask around to see what baitfish are spawning, or ask the local bait shop what has been working.
Finally, you can handle all of this in one fell swoop if you plan to catch live bait before going out. I use a sabiki rig to catch pilchards (or buy them) but any small fish will work. You can also use chunks of other fish you catch. Even cutting the heads off keepers makes a good grouper bait on a drop shot.
In summary, feed a twinkie to a sixth-grader and raw buffalo meat to the natives because it won’t work if they haven’t eaten it before.
