    I've fished the one with the jig and worm, it is productive however I don't really think I caught any less fish with one bait as I did two. But then again you can throw two presentations at once and see which one the fish want to bite.

    Haven't for bass... but have for many other species with good results. Sometimes use them to determine what fish are in the mood for bait or scent wise, and sometimes to kick in the fish's competition strike attitude. If it thinks a small fish is about to get a smaller one, then it wants that smaller one first...

    I always drop shot with a jig rather than a sinker.

    Was wondering about that tube jig setup. Realy looks like a smallmouth setup to me.

    I've also done the drop shot just a jig and gulp minnow above. Only issue is fishing areas with hang ups where you need a standard dropshot weight to bounce the bottom

    I've used a double fluke before. I gave up on the tube/dropshot rig due to multiple break-offs. The palomer knot I use for the DS hook doesn't hold up very well to the load being applied to the tag end from a 5# smallie.
