Bigg Mouth 3.6" Drop‑O – Precision Drop‑Shot / Hover‑Jig Minnow‑Leech | QwikFishing
How, where, and why it excels
Carolina Rig (micro • 1/8–3/16 oz • 18–30" leader)

When & where: Flats, saddles, and light current seams when fish roam off bottom.

How: Slow pull‑pause; feed slack so the Drop‑O swims/glides naturally behind the weight.

Why: Covers water while keeping a subtle bait in the strike zone.

Drop Shot (nose‑ or mid‑hooked)

When & where: Vertical rock, docks, bridge pilings, shade lines, and marks on forward‑facing sonar.

How: Hold in place with slack‑line shakes; short swim‑backs 5–10 ft; long pauses to let the tail breathe.

Why: 3.6" is the “do‑all” drop‑shot size—enough presence, still finessy.

Hover Jig / Damiki (situational)

When & where: Suspended fish in the top half of the column around bait balls.

How: Slow reel; keep it level on forward‑facing; tiny nods to pulse the tail.

Ned / Finesse Head (1/32–1/8 oz) — situational

When & where: Clear water, post‑front, high pressure.

How: Thread straight; drag‑pause with micro shakes; many bites on the deadstick.

Standard (Ball) Jig Head (1/16–1/8 oz)

When & where: Points, marinas, and bluff ends you can trace along bottom contours.

How: Count‑down; slow roll; tick cover and kill for one second—watch for the line to jump.

Texas Rig (light, 1/16–1/8 oz)

When & where: Grass lanes and brush pockets where open hooks hang.

How: Slow swim with stalls; twitch to free; keep it straight for a level glide.

Weightless / Vertical Glide (situational)

When & where: Calm mornings and shade pockets; fish following but not committing.

How: Cast past the target; count 2–4; short rod twitches to make the body breathe and hover.

Gear Dial‑in (line • rod • reel)
  • Drop‑shot/Hover: 6–10 lb braid to 6–8 lb fluoro; 7' ML/F spinning; slower drag for nose‑hooked fish.
  • Jighead/Texas: 8–10 lb fluoro; 7' M/F spinning or casting; modest gear (6.8–7.1:1) for cadence control.
  • Hooks: Nose‑hook #2–#1; rebarb/straight‑shank #2–#1 for weedless; jigheads 1/0 light‑wire.
Tuning & Mods (quick hits)
  • Tail alignment: Hot‑water dip straightens kinks to keep the hover level.
  • Head pin: Dot of gel glue on keepers extends life on jigheads/underspins.
  • Weight tune: In wind/current, step up one size (e.g., 1/8 → 3/16) to keep the hover honest.
Dial it in
  • Clear (6–10+ ft): Ghost/pearl, translucent smoke, ayu/smelt, natural greens. Why: Subtle profile with just enough flash on stalls.
  • Stained (2–6 ft): Green pumpkin shad, darker backs, browns with micro‑flake. Why: Tracks better while staying natural.
  • Muddy / Low light: Black/black‑blue or opaque white. Why: Max silhouette for tracking; pair with slower cadences.

Tip: On sun over rock, silver flake catches light; on overcast + wind, matte/opaque bodies get followed further.

Specs & Build
  • Length: 3.6" (91 mm)
  • Profile: Streamlined minnow/leech body tuned for hover and subtle tail breath on slack.
  • Material: Plastisol soft plastic; balanced for level swims on light wire hooks.
  • Pack Qty: See product options above.
  • Best Pairings: Drop Shot (1/8–3/8), Hover/Damiki (1/16–1/8), Standard Ball Head (1/16–1/8), Light Texas (1/16–1/8), Micro Carolina (1/8–3/16), Weightless (situational)
  • Availability: Ships promptly when in stock; some colors may be poured to order.

Care & Storage

Keep baits straight in the original bag to protect the hover posture. Separate dark/bright to prevent bleed. Avoid prolonged heat in boats/vehicles.

Proof & Community

On‑the‑Water Notes

  • Cold front, bluebird: Drop‑shot deadstick after a rock tick; count to 5–8 before re‑shaking.
  • Bait on graph: Hover/Damiki over 15–25 ft; keep it level and creep through the school.
  • Shade lines & docks: Nose‑hook and hold in place; many bites on the pause.

Q&A

Q: Why 3.6″ instead of 3.0″ or 4.0″?
A: 3.6″ balances castability and subtlety—big enough for presence on 1/8 oz, small enough to convince pressured fish in clear water.

Q: Hook sizes?
A: Nose‑hook #2–#1; rebarb/straight‑shank #2–#1 for weedless; jigheads 1/0 light‑wire.
