My next endeavor in my forever search of big bass will be drop shot rigs.

That's one of the best ways to catch fish, specially if they're on the deeper side.

That's what I've been reading. I'm going to give them a go ahead and see what happens.

Ever try a Tokoyo rig? Very similar and guys who start using them seem to fall in love. Makes some noise and seems to generate more strikes.

If you google Roland Martin Tokoyo rig he has a video on how to make your own. He goes on and on about how much he loves them.
This is type I have and have used.
This is same thing but you would add your own weights at the bottom and bend the wire to keep them on.

A Tokyo rig is almost a 3 way rig with the main line to a split ring which has not a 2/0 hook and a small rod on it. You put a weight on the rod and bend it to hold it in place. Cast it out and let the weight drag on the bottom during the retrieve.

If you use beads, make them the glass type. They clink more soundly than the plastics.

I agree with you but my last trip to the Delta on my drop shot rig I moved the weight down so there was about 24 inches between weight and hook. It worked great in shallow water with my fluke higher up the grass. It was the first time I have used in a drop shot rig in shallow water. Won't be the last!

I'm definitely going to give them a try.
