dropper jigs?

[One More Cast]

like others have said, i think they are a pain in the ass.  Once they tangle once, they tangle every cast after.  I think you are better of working the one jig with the best presentation, depth, drag free drift as possible.

I've done very well with a single Jensen egg dropper below a black or purple jig for summers.  Yes, they do tangle leaving you to have to change the dropper every half hour or so...but c'mon that aint so bad when you are catching fish.  I remember one trip where my buddy and I both caught 3 and were using essentially the same jig...only I was using a dropper.  Funny thing was all mine bit the dropper.

How are you guys tying your droppers on? On the bend of the shank?

Any jig can be used as a dropper jig. Tye the dropper leader right behind the jig head to the hook shank with an improved clinch knot.

I would worry about a fish finding some woody debry ounce hooked .
Its bad enough just having line rub against some wood but with that exposed point it would sure be a concern.

The two main reasons I prefer not to use a dropper rigs. Single jig for me.

I spent some time a couple of winters ago really making an effort to use a dropper.  Tried a myriad of types but favored a Glo Bug/Jensen Egg type.  It worked out really well with alot of steelies taking the tiny little offering over the regular jig or tipped jig.  I don't rig them up much anymore though because when you lose a jig you lose quite a bit more and the payoff doesn't seem worth it.

I do however throw tiny little egg offerings solo more now then I did before.

I also have spent time with glo bug droppers/pegged trout beads below a jig.  I didn't have too much success with it however I think it was due to my lack of effort after breaking off a few set ups. lol  In really low water, if I fish really small stuff like a single glo bug...ect it will be on the bug rod with an indicater.
