I've been fishing my Drop-Shot rigs using a Ned-Rig as my Drop-Shot sinker. I've also used a Texas-Rig or a Finesse-Jig to take the place of the traditional Drop-Shot sinker.
I'll use the same soft-plastic baits at two different levels of the water.
In my mind it's a vertical presentation of the horizontally fished donkey-rig.

Damn good idea

It’s called a drop dead ned. You aren’t the only person to do this my friend

I wasn’t throwing shade on how you throw your stop shot. Was just letting you know there’s a name for it. And it’s widely known. Another good tactic is using a Texas rig weight with a drop shot weight, with a glass bead- or no bead, either way they’ll clack and make extra noise the bead just helps assure there’s extra noise like on a C rig. I find this technique works especially well with walleyes, but use a clear bead, if you use a brass bead or red bead, they might go for that instead of the bait. When I’d run out of drop shot weights I’d use a Texas rig, upside down, and double peg the bottom of my line to hold it , in that scenario I also use a bead but on top of the weight , the Texas rig upside down actually gives you a really good return on what your fishing on top of thru your line

@@rodneystewart7334drop dead Ned. Widely known technique, I believe it’s illegal in competition

Thanks

Awesome information my brother 👊👊

Good stuff! I catch plenty on the Drop Shot and love the technique but, I have one concern. Why can't I get bit with a full sized 4' or even a 6" worm? I always start with a 4" worm, usually a Zoom Finesse worm but, have to bite maybe 1/2-1" off just to get bit. I nose hook. I'm thinking larger bass would take a larger worm but, they just don't seem to hit the same worm in 6." Any idea why? Thanks.

Just speaking for fall season. Most bait fish are small in the fall, that could be on reason. As for the rest of the year not sure.

In the fall go big or go home!

Hell I thought that was Ike at first.

Bass only see red and I char and greens look white. Colors don’t show the way we see them
