so the drop-shot is the way to go?

[bigjim]

not having tried it personally.. hopefully later today/tomarrow for sure. for the first time.. went and got the correct hooks to use for rigging it

but from what i can gather after reading all the posts here and everywhere else across the net. seems like the sure fire rig for a variety of conditions especially when the bass aren't hitting much else on the water?
thats the impression im under. and since the bass havent been hitting much in my area due to drastic weather changes, im up to try anything to land more fish at this point..
is there a downside to this rig? cause if theres is, i havent read anything
