Deep Water Bass

U can move the holes forward or back to change blade action, 3rd hole back is best all around setup.

As far as drop shotting it is NOT the same as a regualr jig, not even close. U cannot suspend a jig 2 feet off the bottom consistently putting it in front of a walleyes face, some fish dont want the hop and bounce presentation, they want slow finesse deal. Also in alot of reservoirs and sand lakes u have 1-2 feet of grass/cabbage just on the bottom w no actual weed growth, a jig hopping disappears into that stuff and gets fouled, a drop shot w 2.5 foot dropper keeps ur bait in the zone the whole time, I often drop shot a minnow/herring and its the only way to do so effectively in some spots. Dont get me wrong, my goto is a mooneye VMC w a twister tail but its not the catch all, every setup has its place, and u gotta be on fish to catch anything w any presentation

Well said Jimmy!!!.....You are correct.....jigging is jigging and while it is similar in style , d/s is a totally different presentation
