Walleye & Bass Lures
These are the same pre-tied drop shot rigs we use on nearly every Aaron’s Guide Service trip for walleye, smallmouth bass, perch, and even northern pike.
Each rig comes ready to fish with a #2 hook and your choice of 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz weight, making them perfect for fishing live bait, soft plastics, minnows, worms, leeches, and finesse presentations. Whether you’re fishing deep weed edges, rock piles, humps, points, or suspended fish, these rigs save time and keep you fishing instead of tying knots.
Drop shotting is one of our go-to techniques on Great Sacandaga Lake and throughout the Adirondacks because it keeps your bait just off bottom and in the strike zone longer.
Each pack includes 5 pre-tied rigs, ready to clip on and fish.

The AGS Rock Candy Ned Kit is a go-to finesse setup for targeting smallmouth bass around rock, gravel, points, and deeper structure. This kit includes a variety of 2.75" stick-style Ned worms in proven fish-catching colors, along with matching Ned jig heads so you can rig up and fish right away. Also includes weight size: 1/10oz, 1/8oz & 1/6oz
This is the style of bait we rely on when smallmouth are glued to the bottom, feeding around rocks, or acting pressured. The compact profile, subtle action, and bottom-hugging presentation make it perfect for dragging, hopping, shaking, or dead-sticking across rocky areas.
It’s especially effective on Great Sacandaga Lake and Adirondack smallmouth fisheries, where finesse presentations shine around boulders, ledges, and hard-bottom transitions. Whether you’re fishing from the boat or casting from shore, this kit gives you multiple color options to match water clarity, light conditions, and fish mood.
Best for:
Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, perch, and walleye
How to fish it:
Drag it slowly through rocks, hop it along bottom, shake it in place, or let it sit when fish are pressured.
Great around:
Rock piles, gravel flats, points, weed edges, docks, and deep-water transitions.
Kit includes:
2.75" finesse stick worms in assorted colors
Ned-style jig heads
Compact ready-to-fish variety pack
3/8 oz or 1/2” Blade Bait
Length: 2"
Weight: 3/8 oz or ½ oz

One of our go-to Great Sacandaga Lake walleye baits, this compact blade bait produces hard vibration in a small baitfish profile. It’s a proven multi-species lure for walleye, smallmouth bass, perch and northern pike.
How to Work It: Cast and rip it with a yo-yo retrieve, work it along weed edges and flats, or vertical jig it over deeper structure. Effective throughout spring, summer and fall.
