Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I want to try out a dropshot rig, and was wondering what is a good weight of sinker to use for it. I've looked around and seen 1/8ths of an ounce drop shot sinkers, but i'm not sure if i should use smaller ones or not.

I've been thinking about getting some of these. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Mike got it right! the size of the weight depends on the depth, current and wind conditions. I do most of my fishing with this kind of a rig, but it varies depending or where I'm fishing

Sweet, thanks for the responses! I also google searched, and came across an old thread on here that had alot of good information as well. What size weights do you use in the San Marcos, Federico?

1/8 to 3/16

Alrighty. I just ordered some 1/8ths ones yesterday, and i think maybe some 3/16ths too
