This video shows how to use a dropshot rig to catch walleye. A dropshot is simply a single hook with a weight positioned about a foot below. The hook can be baited with a live or frozen minnow, or a nightcrawler, or even soft plastic bait. It is a very subtle presentation and works great anytime! I use a #4 or a #2 hook made for dropshot - called a "stand out hook" because it is designed to stand out away from the line. Any hook, such as an octopus hook, will work though. For the weight, a 1/4 oz. weight works well under most conditions.
