CATCH MORE FISH!!! MULTI-SPECIES DROPSHOT

HANDS DOWN the most utilized rig in my boat is the humble dropshot. NO, IT'S NOT JUST FOR BASS!!! It is an amazing tool for targeting walleyes, panfish, bass, and even giant trout on the Great Lakes. You want to catch more fish? Here is how I rig my dropshots for multi-species success!

So what bait types do you like to use? I am a newbie to walleye fishing.

[@NJmultispecies]

Live bait?

So what would the advantages be to drop shotting vs using a 3 way rig or "wolf river rig"?

[@MadisonAngling]

That is an AWESOME question!! The biggest thing with 3-way rigs is that they are dependent on current or the boat moving at a consistent speed to keep the leader/hook/lure off the bottom and not snagging, while a dropshot keeps the hook off the bottom (as long as it is on a tight line) when fishing in calm water with no current. That being said I also use dropshots quite a bit in rivers with current as well (just using heavier weight) with a lot of success. I have been pretty successful pulling 3-ways on lakes with no current, but typically have had much more success using them on rivers with current. Additionally, dropshots being inline with no angles or a leader that swings in the current allows for better bite transmission to the rod, allowing you to feel bites a little faster than with a 3-way. However, 3-ways allow your bait/lure to swing around in the current and can give it a lot more action than a dropshot. Long explanation short - they both have a time and a place where they work better than one another. If you are not fishing current, I'd go dropshot. If you are fishing current, I'd start with the 3-way and adjust from there. Sorry for the long response!

@@MadisonAngling thank you! That makes sense...i fish rivers mostly and we use the 3 way rig a lot when we aren't using just a plain jig and a minnow. We will actually tie 3 flies one one main leader when we are fishing for whitebass

Do you fish from shore

[@MadisonAngling]

Yes, I do occasionally!

Expensive Drop shot weight ? Why ? split shots are a lot cheaper. They work just as well, if not better.
