Muskiebait, does a pickerel rig work similar to a dropper rig?

Exactly the same. I never liked the metal arm of a pickerel rig. The metal arm simply looks unnatural and makes the rig much more visible. It's OK for fish that do not see much pressure, but as most of us fish in more populated areas with a lot of fishing pressure, it works against you.

The metal arms does reduce a bit of line twist and the rigidity of the arm keeps the hooks from tangling the mainline, but I see it more of a hindrance from getting bites than benefits from getting an occasional tangle with the mainline. Using a small but strong 3-way swivel can help to alleviate some of the tangle...but again, it makes your rig more visible to fish.

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.
