Should work , but I found that the jumbos didn’t like the drop shot rigs as much , don’t ask me why but they didn’t.
The guys using drop shots in my boat may get a jumbo or two , the guys using pickerel rigs were getting double header after double header of jumbos
I think it may be that there is no resistance on the hook with pickerel rigs and the jumbo perch could lightly pick them up and hold on them for a second or two before I set the hooks on the buggers !!!
My two cents , or a nickel now a days
