OK now you know how to make a drop-shot rig you need to know the best way to fish it. Now most of the time I use a 1/8 to 1/4 ounce weight.
When fishing lily pads or floating week mats I may go up to a 1/2 oz. bullet weight with the tapered end pointing away from the bait or lure. This helps the weight punch through the pads or mat.
Here is a video showing the best way to fish the drop shot rig.
Just remember to keep the line pinched between your thumb and forefinger, please. I just let it rest on the webbing between my thumb and forefinger until I had a large fish take my lure and rip line off my reel. It took 7 stitches to close the cut the line make in my skin.
