Definitely plan on dropshotting more this year, as for lure making I've been looking into making bismuth jigs as a cheaper alternative to tungsten for lead free areas. Bismuth is slightly less dense than lead but not significantly so it makes a good alternative in theory and not requiring the insane pressure of tungsten and relatively low melting point means I could produce a ton of weights and jigheads for myself that are nontoxic and only slightly larger than lead for the same weight. being less dense it probably won't mark as well so probably not an issue open water but may be a bit of an issue come ice. Love any feedback from people who have made or used bismuth jigs if there are any pretty sure it's been done.

To keep the baits from tearing at the head, try cutting off a tiny bit of heat shrink and heating it onto the nose of the bait. Then, rig the hook through the shrink AND the bait giving it a nice tight fit. A little tip I picked up from Gene Jenson a while back that really works on drop shot and wacky rigs.

When can we see Taro and Jimmy utilizing some of that Perch powder? I think there should be a upcoming catch and cook spice blend cooked up with Taro for this task. IMO great to see angler collab. Anyways awesome content Jay as always!

Gonna try this in a week when walleye opens here! Thanks Jay
Haven't seen much from CSO, is everything ok with him and the family? Maybe he has the spring blahs waiting for the ice to retreat off the lakes

The first time I ever used a drop shot rig in a little late I caught a nice size perch. Didn't even know there was perch in there I was going for trout

I love dropshotting in heavy current, you can still have a finesse presentation but use a large amount of weight to stay where you want to be.

If you grew up in the 90s, lure making is essentially creepy crawlers for your adult self, so catch a fish on a creepy crawler!

You should show uncut angling that you caught a 7 stripped perch. I think that was like a challenge he tried doing.
