I am 63 years old you young whippersnapper. Been tightlining over 55 of them and it is still effective on deep 'Gills, White bass, Perch, channel cats etc. They changed the angle of the entry into the water and called it a drop shot.

The whole concept is to fish deep and not have your hook resting on the bottom but to "Set the table" because some fish have an overbite.:D:D:D:D and are too lazy , or digniified, to pick it up or eat off a dirty plate on the bottom. :D:D:D:D

YOu missed my point
1. have a small weight at the bottom end of the line.
2. have your hook tied above the weight at least 6 inch for starters.
3. let the sinker go to the bottom, and rest.
4. If you tie your hook right you can slide the hook upwards away from the sinker until you find the zone.
5. NO bobber

I am 75 years young, and this method many times before you were wet behind the ears.:D
