Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?
LOOKING for a Great deal on a Slightly used 20-21' Boat.
No spots here.
I'd have to pick a 4" keitech swing impact for both lg and sm.

4.25" Homemade worm for LG and SM and cut it down to 3.5" for crappie. Only use 2 colors and had the aluminum mold made. Make it with a super soft plastic, got tired of the stiffer store bought worms.
Sniper baits Sniper Snub
Z man trickshotz
if I could only choose one it would be a dreamshot in GP sapphire, catches large and smallmouth. Honestly each lake around here is different. Some places you won’t even get bumped on a dream shot but they’ll destroy a cross tail

I really like the Skinny Bear Shad Eye2, but I don't use them anymore. But they just aren't tough enough. At $6 for 5 baits, with 3 fish being the most fish I've ever caught on one bait, I just can't go there anymore. I've moved on to the Roboworm Alive Shad. I've done really well with them, and they last pretty well. I've picked up some Z Man Finesse Shotz and Trick Shotz to give them a try. Figure they'll definitely last longer than the other two mentioned.
I use the above for both largemouth and smallmouth. If I am fishing smallmouth and am having trouble getting bit I put on Gulp. Either a 3" Fry Worm or a 5" Leech. Love me some Gulp for smallmouth.
3 and 4” Gulp minnow has been my absolute #1 dropshot bait for a while now. I would like
to try a couple of the new maxscent baits though, the general and creature hawg have worked great so I’m sure some of the other ones would be great as well on a dropshot. Lots of Elite guys did well with them last year on the smallie tournaments.

5" Zoom lizard, but don't know about Spots, 'cause we don't have some.
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
I like a finesse worm, whether that’s a Zoom, Z-Man, Roboworn, etc. Feel like it gives me as good of a chance to catch largemouth as smallmouth, especially since the lakes I tournament fish most that have smallmouth also have a lot of largemouth, while a lot of the stereotypical dropshot baits don’t usually interest largemouth for whatever reason. Can also nose hook or wacky rig them for a different presentation.
I’ve not fished for spots since I’ve learned how to (competently) dropshot so I can’t comment specifically there, though I’m sure the finesse worm would work.

My favorite drop shot bait or my Favorite drop shot bait, guess it makes a difference according to the other thread. Either way its a Shad shaped worm or a 4" cut tail.
4" lizard, GP or black.
Usually have a tiny fluke on one and a robo fat on another. If they dont bite one or the other they arent on a drop shot
Discontinued Berkley Drop Shot worm or a 3.5" minnow that I pour myself.
