Drop Shotting for Rainbows

On the end of the line where you would attach your drop shot, I would trim the line so that only 1" of line is left from the hook and then tie on a small swivel. Then you can attach a shot line via a perfection loop to the swivel...so you can change the shot line length as you desire when necessary. Essentially, you can have shot line of various length...from just 6" to 3'...and just change them on the go.

Not saying dropshot is not possible...if I were to do it, that's how I would do it.

Maybe this type of hook can help you adjust the shot length on the fly? I don't know how much the tag end will interfere with the fishing though.
