A rig is an arrangement of items used for fishing. It can be assembled of one or more lines, hooks, sinkers, bobbers, swivels, lures, beads, and other fishing tackle. A rig might be held by a rod, by hand, or attached to a boat or pier. Some rigs are designed to float near the surface of the water, others are designed to sink to the bottom.
Fishing line with hooks attached. A fishing line is a cord used or made for fishing. The earliest fishing lines were made from leaves or plant stalk (Parker 2002). Later lines were constructed from horse hair or silk thread, with catgut leaders.
This rig is usually used when catching baitfish, though an angler can also attach a bait cage to the rig and catch fish like large snapper, mulloway, flathead, etc. With a bait cage on the rig, users should give a large jerk to release the bait. In Japan, they are used to catch sardines and mackerel off large piers. [1]

The Drop Shot Rig can be used in any place that looks like it could hold a bass. Similar to jig fishing the weight will need to hit the bottom, and fished along the bottom by twitching the rod. Another commonly used application of this rig is on deep suspended fish. [1] The rig can be dropped down onto a school of fish directly under the boat.
