Dropshot starter baits 2025
DumBassFishin reply :
I'm gonna try out dropshot this year. Can you guys recommend 2-3 good "starter baits" to learn dropshot? I fish mostly small ponds and lakes with small bass.
Gundog reply :
I like Strike King Dream Shots. The tail on them narrows and then widens out giving them great action on the hook. Also Berkeley Drop Shot Minnow and Jackells Cross Tail but they are expensive.
DumBassFishin reply :
Yeah I've heard a lot about those dreamshots.
GoCougs14 reply :
Roboworms are really popular and my personal favorite. Pretty much all I use actually gor drop shotting haha
DumBassFishin reply :
Ok maybe I'll start with those two then.
LunkerFisher reply :
Don't forget the 4" senko!
MDBowHunter reply :
Dreamshots and 4" roboworms are the two I always carry, and they get the job done without a doubt
5fishlimit reply :
Zoom finesse worms, Jackall cross tail shad, and keitech swing impact.
Bluebasser86 reply :
The YUM Warning Shot has great action on a dropshot and they're pretty cheap and durable.
DumBassFishin reply :
4" senko t-rig, nose hooked, or wacky?
kickerfish1 reply :
I have fished quite a few. My must have baits would be:
1. Jackall I-shad
2. Jackall Cross Tail shad
3. Roboworm 4 inch strait tail worm
4. Yamamoto Shad shaped worm
If you can't get bit on one of these it's not the bait.
DumBassFishin reply :
Ok I'll look into all of these but I think I'm gonna start with roboworm, dreamshot, and 4in senko.

They are one of my favorites too...........if I had to choose just one bait out of my drop shot rotation to use, they would be it.
DumBassFishin reply :
Oh and what is a good all around weight for 1-6 foot water. (Never deeper than 12ft)
fisherrw reply :
Roboworms,Jackal crosstail shads
blckshirt98 reply :
For weight go 1/8 oz.
For plastics I'd go with a 3.5" Molix Sator Worm, 4" Yamamoto Kut Tail, and a 4" Jackall Crosstail Shad. If you're on a budget the Yum Sharpshooters (4.5")/Warning Shots/Kill Shots are amazing. The Dream Shots are also very nice, but expect to get a lot of tails bitten off.
atcoha reply :
x2 dreamshots and roboworms.

Wacky!
GoCougs14 reply :
Yup wacky forsure
jitterbug127 reply :
Flukes nose hooked
DumBassFishin reply :
Ok I'll start with roboworms, wacky dinger (lol), and Dreamshot . I did look at everyone else's suggestions but I think those 3 is a good starting point.
I'm also thinking of trying the split shot rig as well. I already have some tubes grubs and curl tail worms. Will that be enough?
RyanFishing reply :
Like others have said you can't go wrong with the dream shot. Has a great action with the shape of the tail. My best producing colors are dirt, ghost shad, and KVD magic.

Tiny fluke

I mean you wouldn't catch anything on those....
DumBassFishin reply :
for the roboworms, what is a good all around color (or two)? Should i stick with green pumpkin? I like to stick with one color when learning a new technique

I generally use Arron's magic in the roboworms, and green pumpkin with purple and gold flake. But I don't really think color is really that important, the guy I fish with almost every weekend uses purple type colors and catches just as many as I do
blckshirt98 reply :
Margarita Mutilator and Bold Bluegill FAT are two of the more popular colors around here. When I fished a lot of Roboworms on dropshot the FX series straight tail in Summer Shad or the FX series sculpin in Baby Bass worked the best for me.
wisconsin heat reply :
You can dropshot ANYTHING, and it will catch fish. 4-6 in worms of any shape, minnow style baits, small paddle tail swimbaits, craws and creatures (some people cut a beaver down the middle the long way and drop shot half of that).
Some of my favorite lures though are the Berkley powerbait twitch tail minnow, BBB shaking squirrel, YUM Sharpshooter, Zoom swamp crawler,and any 3-4 inch senko style lure.
