Description

Poor Boy's Baits is the originator of the drop shot goby. Lake Erie pros Joe Balog, Steve Clapper & Dave Hayward teamed up with Poor Boy's Baits to develop the drop shot goby. The gobies' key characteristics and various color phases were captured to create the perfect Drop Shot Goby. The 4-inch hand-poured goby offers a flat tail and a large head, both key characteristics of gobies. The enlarged head prevents the hook from ripping the bait unlike other hand poured worms.

Field Notes

A drop-shot goby is best for finesse presentations around bottom-oriented fish, especially when bass are feeding on gobies or small baitfish. Rig it on a drop shot and work it slowly with subtle shakes and pauses in clear to lightly stained water, around rock and hard-bottom areas.

Pros

  • Realistic goby profile for pressured fish
  • Flat tail and large head help durability
  • Good for finesse drop-shot presentations

Cons

  • Specialized profile may be less versatile than standard worms
  • Best results usually require a finesse setup
