It's too slow. Reduces my Pitch Count.

I love dropshot. It's my go to method now. I used to hate it because it's so different and you rarely feel the strike, but I can sure enough get a bite in otherwise desperate conditions.

It can be tedious at times, but if you find the right off shore hump, it's like nothing else. So I'm not sure who 'everyone' is, but if power fishing isn't getting it done, I'll put my manhood in the rod box and pull out my fairy sticks and do some drop shotting! I tried that and it hurt like hell when I closed the lid. I don't get it.

The DS has got to be the most versitile method of fishing I know of from depths of 4 - 40 foot and in all types of cover. When I started playing around with it I soon realised I could fish smaller and more subtle soft plastics than I ever could before without feeling like I was overcooking the baits with hardware and loosing action. Seting them up to punch heavy cover w/a t-riged soft plastic has paid off more than just a few times. There is definitely a time and a place for it and not just for dead sticking finesse baits when things get slow... IMO. I tend to use a baitcaster more often than not cus I find it easyer to pitch to my targets in the junk.

I fish it alot in summer and its very effective-I catch fish when other presentations just don't produce.
But I do find it kind of boring at times, even when I'm getting bit.

I have a love/hate relationship with a dropshot.

I don't think the fish will notice the difference between a Baitcaster and a spinning reel.

It's too boring. It's like jigging for crappy only crappie fishing gets more bites.

Had almost quit drop shotting due to line twist. Started using the River A Tackle drop shot rig and it totally eleminated that. These are the best drop shot rigs made. Hardly ever miss a fish now as well.
