The Heavy drop is under rated…
The way i fish it is casting it out and letting it get to the bottom. Then remove slack… You can lift and lower it, bounce it, steady retrieve it… You can even just let it sit. If you google bass fishing videos on using a drop shot, they have great info… One of the best techniques is keeping the weight on bottom, and just twitch the rod enough to move the line, but not lift the weight… It gives that weightless life like action… It will entice fish to bite, similar to throwing super light jigs….. that long slow falling appearance triggers them to bite.
If im fishing in more than 10′ of water, or areas that have quick depth changes ( or im not sure), the drop shot ensures im on bottom, even if im fishing a pass with 20′ of moving water.
