Harmony's Razor Series DropShot Hooks are perfect for dropshotting in any situation, year-round, deep or shallow, for largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass, walleye, and other gamefish
You'll want to have an assortment of topwater lures such as 2-4 ounce pencil poppers, midwater column lures such as Sebile stick shads, and 3-6 ounce jigs such as Savage Sandeels for working the bottom
Even with your weighted jerkbaits it is still a gruelling way of fishing, and dont think you can cover a lot of water when fishing really deep it can take 30 seconds for the bait to reach the bottom, and then you have to work the lure really slowly to prevent it rising in the water column too much
Your inflatable pad can go from 600 g to 350 g with the right tech
I need to ask for advice from those with more wisdom and experience in these matters than I
