try them all and do what works best for you. There is no one recipe that is best IMO.
For what its worth I use them about 50% of the time. They do a stimulate a feeding response in fish I think it is called "competitive feeding instinct" or something like that. Any way, I always have a handful of saltwater flies and 4-6" slugos. In my vest. I find they work better on smaller fish, but that is just me. On nights where I have been fishing without one and not had a touch, added a dropper and I caught fish. I have never landed a large ( > 25 lb) bass on a dropper, ever. I know other guys who claim they have. I believe that big fish like big bait. My dad loved these droppers, he would sometimes have two of them on at different postions. He once said, if he could cast an umbrella rig he would. So whatever works for you, fi#^&#^&#^&#^&.
I am convinced they work...the best kind?...frankly I like slugos. they seem to catch more fish and are cheap to replace. Good quality saltwater flies + a quality surf plug can be a costly rig to hang up on a rock. But in rock free areas, I use them .
