I tried a new method out yesterday...I drop shotted for bream. I used a quarter ounce drop shot sinker designed for bass fishing and then used a number 4 Stand out hook ( the smallest one they make) also designed for bass fishing. I placed the stand out hook about 3 ft. above the drop shot sinker. The stand out hooks have one eye to tie the line too and another eye to run the tag end through going down to the sinker...kind of makes the hook a lever action deal. I baited up good with a gob of meal worms. This new to me method of rigging seemed to work very good for bream fishing near the bottom in deep water as I like to do. It seemed like with the stand out hooks that I had less bait being stolen etc.
