The Dropshot is considered a finesse rig, but it doesn't always have to be finesse. Like moose said, use the searc function, that should help a lot. As for when to fish the DS, It works good when fish are finicky, but it also when when they are agressive cause you can use a 3" senko all the way to a 12" ribbon tail worm.

A drop shot rig is a rig similar to that fo fishing live bait. Their is a weight at the bottom of the line, about 6-9in above the weight, there is a hook. Search Google Images to see picture.
