up here in redding, I drop shot 50 % of the time...I use a 1 hook setup, two hooks are a mess(if i need to i'll rig two rods drop shot..1 high with a shad color, one low with a craw color) I use 6lb p line flourclear on a bass pro shops 6'6''ML bionic blade rod...Just keep plugging away, this technique is the best when they wont bite anything else..if you have too dead stick it for 30 seconds...then lightly shake it...some basic colors that WILL catch fish are: arrons magic(1&2) margarita mutilator, ok blood, blueghost, and any baby bass. when the shasta region comes up here, this will be a setup everyone will have to have, it catches too many fish not to have it on at all times. CATCH YA LATER, ryan
