Compared with a standard drop shot it holds the worm in a more horizontal posture, the attitude bass respond to when they are looking at a bait rather than chasing it. The system's real point is the leader: because the drop line to the sinker can run lighter than the main line, a snagged weight breaks off on its own and you keep the hook, the bait and the fish. That is what lets you fish a down-shot rig into timber and brush most anglers steer around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset worm hook designed as part of the heavy down-shot (hebi-dan) system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the Kilo Hook Worm17 blank — heavy wire for cover, not open-water finesse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the worm more horizontally than a conventional drop shot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset bend buries the point for a fully weedless finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with a lighter drop line so a stuck sinker breaks away and the rig survives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish; 5 per pack in #1, 4 per pack in #2\/0 and #3\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Katsuichi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy down shot (hebi-dan)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie the hook with a palomar, leaving a long tag with the point facing up.
