Hello Fellow Crappie Lovers-
Thought I’d share this with you.
As a newbie, I haven’t tried using drop shotting yet, but I’d to try this method.
Now I just gotta find a good jig hook.

Victor on i_fish is legit and he’s 100% correct on using the jig head hooks.

Or you can put a bobber stop on whatever your choice of line is then the gold aberdeen hook then another bobber stop with a weight tied to the end of the line. That's my redneck version of a dropshot no matter what i'm fishing for with it.Originally Posted by CrappiePappy

OKAY ... but, don't the bobber stops slip down on the line when you set the hook ?? Seems as though it would slip and lessen the penetration force of the hookset (especially if the hook is penetrating the bony roof of the fish's mouth).Or you can put a bobber stop on whatever your choice of line is then the gold aberdeen hook then another bobber stop with a weight tied to the end of the line.

Bobber stopper would slip down but if the length is not too long and you using a quick jerk follow by reel the line tight to add tension at first hook set would help, remember to use bobber stopper that match your line size (not freely move).
I would call this true drop shot but my double rig that I use both slow retrieve and under bobbers. I use swivel in middle with lighter line as leader in case I got hang up, I can brake off only line behind swivel. This way I can adjust the length between two jigs.
