Dropper rig length?

[picksbigwagon]

Scudly (my ten year old) and i are heading to Devil's lake this weekend and I have heard about dropper rigs, and i know what they are but. Onhave yet to find a definitlive length that you should make the dropper. On youtube one video said 2 3/4" to 3", another video seemed to be 6", anoer looked to be closer to a foot. Any recommendations?

I fished Devil's last April for my first time. I went with a large group of guys that had been going for years. They were all using hali lures with the 2-3" chain droppers on them. They put lots of fish on the ice, and all swore you needed a dropper rig to pull some perch there.

I used buckshot spoons, flyer spoons, and different tungsten jigs and also put more than my share of fish on the ice. I liked the buckshot spoons the best because it's my go-to lure but it seemed like everything was working for me. We were all tipping the lures with either minnow heads or spikes.

Good luck and have fun, it is an awesome fishery!
