A lot of people fish the dropshot in shallow water, but I think it's actually utilized a little better in the deeper water. Think about it. You're in 60 feet of water with a fluke tied to a dropshot. When you slack the line up it's basically weightless, besides the hook. You are maximizing the action of the platic by having no weight on it. Small twitches with a little slack in the line does it for me everytime. I've used up to 1.5 oz of weight deep water dropshotting. The weight is just to get it back to the bottom faster. The real action comes when you give it a little line.
