The Drop Shot Rig is a popular fishing setup designed for targeting fish that are suspended in the water column. It consists of a hook tied to the end of the line, with a weight attached below it. This allows the bait to hover just above the bottom, making it more appealing to fish like bass and panfish. This rig is particularly effective in deeper waters where fish may not be close to the surface. Anglers can adjust the distance between the hook and the weight to find the optimal depth. The Drop Shot Rig is versatile and can be used with various baits, including soft plastics and live bait.
