Ever wonder what dropshotting is or when to use it? Turns out right now is the perfect time to try it out. This method utilizes alot of action with very little change in location of your lure-allowing sluggish bass more time to attack. Dropshotting is traditionally used for catfishing and most bottom saltwater species, but has been adapted for freshwater bass. The basic idea is to have a weight at the end of your line with a lure/bait suspended about 10-12 inches above it tied with a palomar knot. This lets you bounce and flick the lure and not move it from the strike zone.
Here's some very helpful links for rigging and fishing dropshots:
