A tungsten weight emits a loud ticking and clacking sound similar to a jig rattle when it hits rocks. Since its density is greater than lead, tungsten sinker sizes are smaller than lead sinkers of the same weight. For example, a 1/4-ounce tungsten weight will have a smaller profile than a 1/4-ounce lead sinker.
Dropshotting is a finesse worm fishing technique that involves a plastic worm being fished on a small, live-bait hook, rigged with the point exposed, and fished above a weight which is at the bottom of the line. This technique is still being defined and refined in this country, and there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. For example:
Where is a dropshot most effective? These answers will seem a little wide in scope, but I have seen this technique work in each of these situations.
Dropshotting can be done in severe weather.
Dropshotting is a very good structure technique. Locate deep structure and drop the bait directly on top of the fish (down to 50 feet and deeper.)
Cast to the shore and work the bait back to the boat.
Putting your boat on the bank, cast into deeper water and work uphill (very good in early spring.)
Dropshotting over bedding fish.
Using a heavier set up, flipping a dropshotted worm along deep tulles or grass beds.
While there really is no way to dropshot incorrectly, there are many things you can do to improve your presentation, thus improving your chances of catching more fish.
