ome may consider that dropshotting suspended bass as a bit unorthodox. Usually you fish a point or a ledge or creek channel with a dropshot, but here is why i think differently. one day i was in a school of shad on lake Shasta in the Pit river arm, i was spooning and getting a few bass, but not like i usually do when i’m in a school of bass and shad. They had a bit of an attitude; so, i started playing around with a baby Basstrix and a dropshot rig. at first i was just trying to get them to hit something, i could clearly see the bass on my electronics. i started shaking the dropshot rig in the school with a couple hits, but not like i’d hoped. i set the rod down and grabbed a bottle of water and kept a eye on my rod. i only was a couple of feet away - good thing because my rod took off
