Thanks Rocky - I just started drop shotting this year and really like it. I have previously used what some call a Michigan rig
which is a fly 8-16" above a jig. I tie some balanced leaches (basically a miniature balance marabou jig) and those have produced at Strawberry. Also lots of success with hare's ear, copper john, and similar nymphs in that upper position. Want to try some scuds this year.
I also last year tried a whitefish slider rig, which is a spoon below with a sliding jig or hook 8-24" above, and positioned above a small swivel so the upper offering can go higher and flutter back down, but can't go lower than the swivel.)
And yeah, that upper hook tends to snag if not securely in a fish's mouth!
