Hogy® Drop Shot Rig

A drop shot rig is a terminal tackle configuration used in bottom fishing (typically with soft plastic baits) where the hook is tied (in-line) above a sinker. Why is this important? Basically, by tying the hook directly "in-line," any movement in the line will transfer directly to the soft bait.

The effectiveness of Drop Shotting:

1. Pin-Point targeting of deep water fish on structure.
2. Holding baits in front of finicky fish.
3. Take advantage of a soft plastic bait uninhibited by a jig head and still fish in deep water.
4. Easy to re-rig.

Originating in Japan, this soft bait bottom fishing technique first arrived in the United States on the West Coast, and made quite a splash in the largemouth bass scene. While "Drop Shotting" is popular in many freshwater bass fishing scenarios, it is largely under-utilized in salt water. The Hogy Drop Shot Rig changes all that!
