Your Favorite Drop Shot Bait? 2025

29JMP29 reply :

I am going to use the drop shot a lot more this summer for smallmouth. I have only used roboworms, and I have done pretty well with them, but they tear up after 2 or 3 fish, so I'm wondering, what is everybody's favorite drop shot bait? a lot of the lakes i fish have gobies in them, so i'm thinking that might be a good way to go? give me some ideas

thanks

Finessr shadz from Zman is good and durable. Jackall crosstail shad is a fave of many too

Felix77 reply :

With my limited Drop Shot experience it's the wacky finesse worm for me so far.

CPBassFishing reply :

I like the powerteam lures jp hammer shad and finicky tickler. Strike king also has an AWESOME goby bait that I texas rig......absolutely hammers smallmouth in the rivers around here. It would do well on the DS rig.

The Next KVD reply :

PowerTeam Lures 5" Finicky Tickler. In the fall I've had some killer days on smallies with a JP HammerShad.

6" Roboworm in margarita mutilated nose hooked works best for me here on clearlake

Believe it or not its the zoom tiny fluke for spotted bass in my local lakes, I've used,the jackall clone fry, crosstail shad and clone gill as well as many high end plastics and nothing produces as well as the zoom tiny fluke for me

ww2farmer reply :

I also like the GYCB shad shape worm, gulp leeches, and zoom tiny fluke, but day in day out, my #1 drop shot bait is a 4-5" straight tail worm. Pick a brand, they all work.

TNBassin' reply :

PTL JP Hammershad in spicy goby color. Great drop shot bait.

ripinthem reply :

gr8outdoorz reply :

3" Havoc Sick Fish and Lake Fork Tackle 4" Ring worm! I always have one of these on my drop shot rod.

iceintheveins reply :

I like 4" and 6" robo worm fats, but the reaction innovations flirt is more durable and also has great action.

Primus reply :

JP Hammer Shad would be my favorite.

TNBassin' reply :

I stocked up on the Hammershads when Fishhound had them because they are so awesome on a D-shot. That little bait is even good on a shakey head jig.

Bass Junkie reply :

My favorite so far is the Jackall Cross Tail Shad, but they have the same durability issues as your Roboworms.

I used the Zoom Tiny Fluke today and did really well!

First time with the Tiny fluke for me.

Snakehead Whisperer reply :

Gonna be a toss up between the Strike King Dream Shot/Fat Baby Finesse, and Chompers DS Worms.

backcast88 reply :

4.5" Fat Roboworm in Bold Bluegill. Nose hooked, TX rigged, or wacky it will catch fish in clear water like nothing else.

Teal reply :

Jackall Crosstail shad is my most productive. Close seconds are the robo worm, tiny fluke, and tiny brush hog.

Comfortably Numb reply :

I also used the 3" Sickfish with good results.

Bluebasser86 reply :

Zman finesse worm, very soft so I get lots of action and buoyant so they stay off the bottom. Even my wife catches fish with these worms on a dropshot. I tell her to cast it out and leave her bail open, count to 30, close the bail and reel in your fish. The Zoom Meathead worm is a close second for me.

BrianSnat reply :

I like the Rage Thumper or Space Monkey.

JT Bagwell reply :

My favorite is the Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm.
