I guess I would rather have a shot at 1-2 (or in this case, zero) good fish than a few smaller models. Still, I can see why many throw the d-shot. It does catch fish.
Your response was so funny to me. I'm not much of a bass fisherman, but my bass guy in our posse fells the exact same way about drop shooting. I had to look you up to make sure my buddy didn't join FNN and not tell me about it.
