While most of might believe fishing a drop shot with the lightest weight possible would be the most effective method, Bassmaster Open angler Matt Pangrac recently proved that is often times not the case. With highly pressured, suspended spotted bass being the order of the day at the recent Bassmaster Southern Open on Lake Hartwell, Pangrac determined early on in practice that he could get the spotted bass to react much more positively to his drop shot rig if it was quickly falling past them. To get this reaction bite, Pangrac empoyed either a 3/8 oz or 1/2 oz Kovert Tungsten teardrop style weight. "Typically people think of a drop shot rig as a super finesse style technique, and they tend to use extremely light weights like 1/8 oz. At Hartwell I figured out pretty quickly that I was getting more bites if I could have my Cliff Hanger worm fall by the fish extremely fast. I was looking at all of the fish I was targeting on forward facing sonar, so the heavier weight also allowed me to be a lot more efficient in getting the bait down to them as quickly as possible." said Pangrac. Give a heavier drop shot weight a chance the next time you are on the water, you just might like the results.
