Palomar knot. Tie that knot with a really long tag. The tag is what you then attach your weight to.

Check your Wisconsin regulations for the legalities of the DropShot technique. The above knot is illegal in some states. Michigan is one. In those states you need a 3" length of line between your main line and your hook. In other words, your hook can't be on the main line. Has to do with the way the snagging laws are written.

Bill Leonard wrote an article about drop shotting about a year ago. Can't remember were it was published. Should find it with a little digging. I will let you know if I find it.

Thanks for the plug, buddy.

Hey, did you get my e-mail about those secret baits? They work well for drop shotting too.

Shhh. Don't tell these guys.
