Good afternoon everyone. This has been covered a lot I know, but this is new to me.

Ok, so we mostly tight line bridges at night with minnows. Sometimes I will jig a double /triple jig rig as well. But I have never tried my hand at the Drop Shot style.

I went to Wal-Mart and picked up some 1/2 oz. bell sinkers. I was going to tie the sinker on and tie on (2) #2 hooks about 16" apart from each other. Here's my question/concern.

If we are sitting in 30 fow, and the fish are showing at 12-15, wouldn't the weight swinging spook the fish? I want to try this, but I see in that with the Drop Shot style, you are supposed to drop all the way to the bottom and then reel 2-3 turns with the reel. If the fish are not sitting on the bottom, say 25 ft then would this technique be that good of an idea?

Thanks
