One thing I see being different is the tension on the line would not cause the bait to move naturally in the current as it would loosely behind a split shot.

You may lose less tackle using drop shotting since you can use a breakaway line tied to the weight... but you can also do that for splitshots, just takes a bit more effort.

Yeah, I can see that being a disadvantage; ...bait not moving properly. But I wonder if the accuracy of DropShot more then makes up for it…. Will have to experiment and see.
