Shakey dropshot
Shakey dropshot
If you were to have a dropshot with a shakey head as your weight, is that legal in a tourney situation?

Re: Shakey dropshot
I have heard of people doing this in tourneys on another post on here. Id say if its legal in your state then it is probably legal in the tourney. I know it is legal here in NY.

I think that unless it's specified in the tourney rules, they'll go by state law.
For example, some tourney organizers in SoCal have banned the use of "A-Rigs" although they are legal in the state, but they specify it loud and clear.

Why do you say that? Im a dedicated dropshot angler, but have never tried this technique - however the thought had crossed my mind.

Re: Shakey dropshot

Re: Shakey dropshot
Just a nice semi-slack pop set works with either one well. You can also save some guessing, after 3-4 fish you can usually tell which one they want on a given day and then go with a straight shakey head or drop shot. I have, however, had days where they'll alternate, or caught double (spotted bass LOVE this rig) or certain fish will eat both baits at once. Not sure how that works, but they do it.
