While some people use it as a snagging rig, it is an excellent way to catch big bluegills in deep water and is why Michigan changed the rule as Hsmit discussed. If you are casting a heavy drop shot rig with a treble hook up the line in a river or where salmon or steelhead stage, it is a very effective snaging rig because the hook is the first thing that hits the fish.<br />

Snagging happens a lot for salmon and steelhead where I live, but it is easy to do using other methods if that is your goal.
