The advantage of drop-shot fishing is that you can employ deep fishing tactics with very small lures, or entice fish that are reluctant to taking any bait or lure. The drop shot will allow you to fish with a lure from 20 to 50cm and beyond, down the side of steep sea walls for instance.
You need work the lure in small pulsing movements at your chosen location by slowly increasing or decreasing the depths without the need for changing your ballast lead. By trial and error, you achieve an unstoppable technique to entice predatory fish that are not very active, as the targeted fish hardly feels any resistance during the encounter. The Drop Shad has been specially designed for this type of finesse fishing.
Its 3 notches in the baits cover ? of the length of the lure and its very fine tail emit irresistible vibrations during its swimming action. You can use any Drop Shot weight of your choice to suit the topography of water you are fishing in.
