"A drop shot rig is a simple way to tie your hook up the line and put your lead on the bottom. For many years, this has been the way of the saltwater fisherman. It's very easy to do and catches bass. You start by tying on the hook with a Clinch knot. Then you bring the tag end back through the eye from the top down. Make sure it's tight and then tie a weight at the end. Tie an overhand knot right
. on the end of the line, letting the sinker slide back down and peg with a toothpick. http://fishing.about.com/od/basicfishinginstruction/a/dropshot.htm"
