Drop shot Walleyes

[BGH]

moved to a different state and a lot of people around here drop shot for walleyes, instead of pitch jigs.

Anyone ever done this? If so, what kind of set up do you use?

Wanting to give it a try some day. Thanks for the input.

You can buy hooks with a swivel or learn to tie the rig. Then a drop shot weight that pinches the line. Nose hook the plastic or minnow and bounce back to the boat/shore. i had the intention of trying it last year and got stuck in my ways.

Deadly but slow presentation, instead of a weight I used a jig with a minnow.

7' to 7'3" medium light extra fast taper 26 ipt reel. the medium light will help you control the fish with the lighter line you'll be using while the taper will help pick up and slack line faster and help with a more positive hook set. as far as line twist if you are getting line twist you really are fishing it too fast as huff said it is a super slow presentation the idea is to maintain a controlled depth off bottom and just sit in one place and twitch the bait on the nose of a finicky fish

Really light jig and still use a drop shot weight?

I'm guessing he's setting it up as a high low presentation.

Drop shoting for finicky perch, panfish during hard water season should also be in your arsenal bag of tricks to try and fool them. Just sayin

I'll say it again, much knowledge can be gleaned from bass shows and tactics allowing one to escape the tedium of bright little beads and such effeminate adornments.

Pretty soon Texas and Carlolina rigs will become standard for walleye. Oh wait, Lindy Rig = Carolina Rig.

My trout fishing world changed when I found a 4in, fully clawed, hardshell crayfish in the belly of a 12in stocked brook trout. The natives back in the Hills look like the ones in Labrador; stocked are green with white spots. I believe the DNR gets this variety from Maine.

no I don't think so. Jig replaces drop shot weight so that you actually have two presentations down instead of one.

Bright little beads and effeminate adornments???? Who you tryin' to kid?? Most bass baits have enough bling on them to make Liberace jealous.

drop shotting is nothing new. been used in some areas for ages.

 

[svnmag]

It's 90's new developed in gin clear California lakes. I don't recall the point of the thread being age.

I guess my point is that there is lots of info out there on it, it's uses and benefits over other types of getting bait down there.
