i roll a bait no weight or some times a bb shot,let it sink and sit,sometimes it takes more than five or ten minutes for a chink to pick up live bait, or crawling a estaz shrimp or crawfish an inch at a time on the bottom for 30 ft or more before the take.
although i do agree that sometimes it takes what you do to catch fish ,i am new to the drop shot method ,and first herd of it here.i can say beyond a shadow of a doubt it works and well.
