Hey fishing guys and gals. I'm trying to master the micro dropshot. What are your favorite baits to dropshot for panfish. Let's talk about it. I like 1" gulp minnows but trying to expand my arsenal. Thanks in advance!!!

The two best drop shot anglers I know are Steve and Fred aka the Rionator. Both these guys have posted many of fish caught using the drop shot with Gulp Alive products.

There are many flies that work great drop shooting.

wug...earthworms/wigglers all work great...but I changed for the same reasons. Catches just as many fish/dont have to store in the frige/less mess & way more convenient.

There are many flies that work great drop shooting. Also Nightcrawlers! Side Note: Just about every fish loves a worm!

I’ve never used a drop shot rig, but am very interested. I’ve been a saltwater angler, but have moved away from the coast and want to focus on crappie and bluegill. Could some of you post pictures of your rigs? Thanks
