Excellent video as usual Jeff. Could you possibly do a video on bank bass fishing. I think a lot of your viewers don't have boats with fish finders and learning how to bank fish would be very helpful. Thank you very much.
Basically the same drop shot setup... Its most all i do here in S. Korea. I toss at an angle toward the bank and work its way back to me jigging slightly. Kills bass here.
I used this today and caught my first 2lb and 16" smallmouth bass. I am on such a high after only catchin pumpkinseeds for the past 5 weeks. And this set up help keep the gobies from my live baits.
I always have a rod rigged for it. When all else fails, it seems to wake up the bite. Had a ton of luck wacky rigging it. Don't always fish it dead stick, HatCam is totally spot on with that info. I fish Texas style in calm water with great success. This dude is a good source, direct and simple guidelines for successful fishing. Share his vids with friends.
Great guide. I started fishing 2 years ago and I've tried to learn as many rigs and techniques as possible. As many others have said, the dropshot is basically my secret weapon on days when nothing else is getting bites. I always have one of my rods rigged up with it. It's just a super reliable and versatile rig that every bass fisherman should have in their arsenal.
I love using a bug 12 inch heavy worm instead of the weight of the bottom. Obviously it makes it lighter but giving two presentations in one has caught me tons of bass.
That's what we've done since I was a kid. Use corn, eggs, marshmallow and/or worm (you can simplify it and use a three way swivel if you want to really piss the elitists off).....or, if going for trout stocked from a hatchery, powerbait pellets (it mimicks the food they are fed). Works like a charm, just make sure you either rig it like the video show or you rig it with floating bait (slip weight and floating bait keep the catfish from bait robbing).
Hey. I've never used this technique before. Looking around on UA-cam on info about it, this is the best tutorial I've seen on it, would have spent more time on the uniknot, but all in all a great video.
I believe that the clip on dropshot weights is designed to pinch the line if the weight gets stuck so that you don't lose the whole rig and you can just stick another weight on. By tying it on like you did will that inhibit it's ability to snip the line?
***** Exactly. The weight will pull free a little TOO easily by just clipping it. Doing what I showed in the vid will keep it secured, but still pull free if you get snagged.
I fish in a snaggy weedy rocky river.Constant snags.So I use "slightly squeezed " split shot for a weight,drop shotting.This will just slide off the tail, from the hook,if its snagged,leaving my rig.
Just leave a long long tail off your hook,or harness,check pressure to make sure sinkers slide,and how easily.You can use more or less sinkers depending on wind or currents,and the baits being used.The length to weight can be adjusted depending on conditions.You never have to retie,just squeeze on more sinkers.Great with a slip float too.
“Gently bend your hook out and that will greatly increase your hookup percentage”. Yes, and it will greatly decrease your landing percentage. It does 2 things, it makes the point and barb more symmetrical instead of tilted in a bit. So it causes the fish to be able move around further on bend of hook, which causes the barb to move back and forth in fishes lip making the hole bigger. When the hole is bigger, the barb is basically useless and the hook can very easily move back out the hole, causing lost fish. There is actually a good reason most of these hooks and octopus hooks, etc have certain shapes and bends to them. These companies spend tons of time and money on r&d and testing to create the shapes and features that have best hookup ratio and best landing percentage. Buying expensive, quality hooks, its kinda silly to bend them back out in my opinion. Just buy a generic j hook or bait hook if you wanna do that, because thats essentially what you are making a technique specific name brand hook when you start reshaping it. To each their own, thats just one mans opinion. Im not important, if you don’t agree, thats cool. Do what you do.
Not sure about live bait, but I used it with herring chunks when fishing for halibut in Alaska. Worked well to keep the herring suspended in the strike zone!
I'm amazed with this rig. Used it many times just to mess around but the 1st time I really committed to fishing with it for more than a few casts I caught a 3 Lbs Largemouth and a 8Lbs catfish. Because of that I got a spinning reel combo and to use it for more finesse presentations. Definitely a rig that works all year round and worth trying.
Definitely an awesome rig. I've been doing a drop shot popper fly rig for bass this year ... Been crushing it! I have some videos of it on my channel if you're interested!
I'm sorry but I have to say that bending a hook is NOT a good idea. These hooks have already gone through the hardening process and cold forging will cause serious damage to the steel.
awesome video and easy to understand which i like since im a beginner in fishing. thank you Question i had , can i use a 3 way T swivel and will it work as a drop shot ?
Not sure exactly how you'd use a 3-way swivel. I guess you could give it a try, but you really want to be careful of any unneeded tackle affecting the action of the rig. Thanks for watching, hope this helps.
This is the most informative drop shot rigging segment I have seen thus far. All the rigging techniques here make sense because they are several different ways to make your bait move, depending on what you have available in your box right now! LOVE IT!!!
Yes,,,, short , clear and understandable,,,!!!!!!! Plus,, I didn’t have to buy a whole year subscription to another Useless magazine,,,, Great Video,,!!!! Joshua
This is the best, most straightforward video I’ve seen about the drop shot. It covers hook choice, bait choice, rigging, and fishing technique in a succinct and concise manner. Excellent job...keep up the great work. You have a new subscriber in me!
I saw you had straight braid for your drop shot rig, I have braid to floro leader rigged up now. But I would rather rig straight braid as you had it. Anybody else do this??
I personally can’t say I’ve ever needed an effective rig on bass fishing because they’ll eat anything lol. But I’ll defend try this next time I go out.
Sometimes I just put a leader off the hook with a weight on there, it can easily be added or removed, my hook sits sideways with the lines going opposite directions. Good method for rivers and awesome with live frogs as bait. But as he said anything will work.
hands down, 1000% correct on everything you said about the dropshot. it works in almost ANY situation and ANY location. probably the most deadly rig i have use thus far. deep water, shallow water, drop offs, weed edge, sand bar just about ANYWHERE. the only down side to this rig is that you'll get so bored catching so many fish and it a slow working rig lol. i usually dont go straight to drop shot, but when its a hard day, i know what rig im using.
Great video. Simple to understand. Well explained and straight to the point. Don't know if you're still posting since this is 9 years old. But I subscribed.
I’m loving drop shotting the 3.5 inch panorama currently. Caught an 8 pounder yesterday with it. That’s a New Jersey 8 pounder so equivalent to like a 13 pounder down south. The state record I think is only 12 pounds in nj.
I would also recommend bobber stoppers for the hook. this will allow adjusting the depth of the hook and you can easily adjust it to conditions. Awesome video as usual.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. Quick question; what is the leverage of using these specific hooks? I mean, what is their advantage over any straight shank hook, especially if we open up the hook even more using a plier?
I have never caught a fish on the drop shot and I have been fishing it nonstop for 2 months, what am I doing wrong? I looked at many different UA-cam videos, and applied them to my fishing. Any advice?
*I bought these and used them at the river where I get snags often they have done a **enjoyable.fishing** recommend great job of not breaking along with some strong line I purchased as well. They are super durable and easy to use.*
This was a great explanatory video, up until you started talking on technique. Keep in mind that some of us are not familiar with angler jargon. You say that 80% of the time you work it like a Texas rig... or the second one that I cannot even spell... 😕 for me I have no idea what that acually means... so can you maybe clarify using more basic terms regarding how to actually working it? Thanks.
Not much on Mitchell Reels these days.Bought 3 brand new reels and didnt even make it threw a season without starting to fall apart.Have had same Okuma And Shimanos for 5-10 years and still going strong.
I used this system back in the early 80's when I fished for surf perch off the beach only had a longer line for the hook. Back then I used a spark plug for the weight.
The drop shot rig is great, but I don't know if I'd call it the best rig for catching bass. Definitely not record size bass. I don't think there's anything bass will always hit, or that's can't miss. If there were, that's what we would all fish all the time. The funny thing about the drop shot rig is that we were fishing two versions of the same rig using live minnows more than forty years ago.
I'm gonna try this rig out, never done it before. So I am gonna use my experiment rod and reel, not my main two. If I have successfully caught some bass off of this rig then I will use it on my main two rod and reels.
sorry, this video didn't even begin to scratch the surface of what the dropshot can do, and how it can be used....where I am in the North East, for example, we often use this in 30-40 feet of water, and your "quarter ounce limit" would not get it done. You need underwater shots to show how the various rod actions affect the action of the lure on the line....Also nothing on the logic of the very important aspect of leader length, and why you need to adjust it according to where you are fishing.
I’ve been using this as a new freshwater bass fisherman and have been killing em. But learned light line does have it’s downsides. 10+ each day on em. But I did lose a few lunkers in the grass. They just pulled drag and dug in.
over 40 years ago We rigged prusik knots above and below the hook allowing us to adjust depth fast . We called it slip hooking . We also used up to 3 hooks .
You should have mentioned that lead weights are illegal in many places due to them being environmental hazards. Regardless, avoid lead and happy fishing
I watch a lot of these videos everyday , I,m retired , and this was as good as I,ve seen for detailed instruction. I will go here first. My lake is 39 degrees . Keep this format and they will come.
Most realistic worms are cremes. They make a flesh colored version and a red colored translucent, and those are the best colored, and I've caught a lot of good fish on those.
I use a fishermans knot for literally everything. Especially afyer i bought this 10lb spider ez line thats soo thin that the tag end slips through every time i try to sinch a knot. The only knot i can get to work with this line is a fishermans
I deal with a lot of muddy water lately here in Texas due to our unusual heavy rain fall lately. I mean like inches of visibility. Would this work, can fish see it in these conditions?
+Danny Hudgins it would but i definitely dont recommend using it with only muddy water conditions but when it rains bass have a tendency to come closer to shore to find food
I was amongst the 1st tournament anglers in Canada to drop shot, I had a huge advantage over the other anglers, I even invented a bait that just won an elite event on Champlain, if you havnt tried it, fo yourself a favour 👊
How much leader line do you recommend between the hook & weight? Never tried a drop shot but with video im going to try it soon. Just need to know how much line between hook & weight
ive always had the rig but never used it. this whole week nothing was biting till i just saud. what the heck, so i went for it and caught 23 fish bc nothing was biting

Try drop shotting with flies! I have a few videos on it .... Been crushing bass on em this year!!
The production value here is top. So many fishing instructionals are a guy staring at the camera with one angle. Much appreciated

KandaPanda I was thinking the same thing I can use my wolf river rigs for this just change to a lighter weight
Exactly what I was thinking
I would try gulp for trout with this rig in smaller size. , good luck will try it myself at the lake thanks. 🐟
Dude, this is so affective with trout. I have added a second lead about 12inches and its caught me large trout.
great video, best drop shot video I have seen!

How far should I go from weight to hook ?
depends on the depth of the pond/ depth of where the fish are basically the hotter the weather and water the less far away the wieght should be

Tungsten drop shot weight... WHY ? Cheap split shot works great and is MUCH cheaper.
I used this system back in the early 80's when I fished for surf perch off the beach only had a longer line for the hook. Back then I used a spark plug for the weight.
Awesome video… I’ve been learning a lot from you. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

So I am gonna use my experiment rod and reel, not my main two.
If I have successfully caught some bass off of this rig then I will use it on my main two rod and reels.
I would think using a floating plastic like Z man elaztech products might work the best perhaps?
sorry, this video didn't even begin to scratch the surface of what the dropshot can do, and how it can be used....where I am in the North East, for example, we often use this in 30-40 feet of water, and your "quarter ounce limit" would not get it done. You need underwater shots to show how the various rod actions affect the action of the lure on the line....Also nothing on the logic of the very important aspect of leader length, and why you need to adjust it according to where you are fishing.
I’ve been using this as a new freshwater bass fisherman and have been killing em. But learned light line does have it’s downsides. 10+ each day on em. But I did lose a few lunkers in the grass. They just pulled drag and dug in.
Great video. I subscribed. I hope you have one one finding and catching Spotted Bass. Thanks.
It's a great setup for bluegil and catfish too. You just use a larger weight or them but it is an amazing setup for all bottom feeders.
Thanks for the tip... I will certainly give it a try.
Will a catfish bite a plastic bait? Or only decaying stuff?
California, with its wacky and illogical lawmaking, says a dropshot is illegal in streams and rivers, but legal in lakes and ponds.
Use a lunker city bakudan weight please. Theyre made with a swivel--less line twist.
over 40 years ago We rigged prusik knots above and below the hook allowing us to adjust depth fast . We called it slip hooking . We also used up to 3 hooks .
Your explanation is awesome and very useful. Above all it is right to the point and with no amount of rambling. Thank you very much.

Palomar knot for the win...
...and don't bend your damn hooks! Buy one that works for the way you fish. 🤣
We are taking applications for Pro Staff
the153anglers.com/pro-staff-application/
Most realistic worms are cremes. They make a flesh colored version and a red colored translucent, and those are the best colored, and I've caught a lot of good fish on those.
I use a fishermans knot for literally everything. Especially afyer i bought this 10lb spider ez line thats soo thin that the tag end slips through every time i try to sinch a knot. The only knot i can get to work with this line is a fishermans
Such a cool way to rig a plastic.
I got one setup .. No luck YET .
I'm hopeful tho..
Why bend the hook? Thats ridiculous, why not just buy a hook that is already opened to where you want it...smh

Fishers are birds. You are an angler :)
I you fish the Drop shot, please dont make the Palomar not you never have a 90°angel.
I've been using a smaller plastic worm and it works well for crappie and yellow perch

So i use 30lbs braid with 8lb leader. Was wondering if anyone else uses 30lbp braid
Спасибо, вязал через паламар, но данный способ показался лучше. Попробую. 👍
Im now ready to drop shot man, nice work, and you're repin duckett. Subbed
Is that technique effective on saltwater fishing? As seabass, bluefish or seabream
I miss fishing for bass now that I’m in Montana I’ve had to learn new ways to fish. Check out reel outdoorsy to see what I mean
I AM SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO CONSIDER THIS, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT A SHALLOW DIVING CRANK BAIT ON A TOKYO RIG???
I've never set the hook up to where it sits perpendicular with the line, but to where it sits flush with the line... and it works just fine.
It doesn't seem to me that this is a rig for bank fishing -- especially into shallow ponds, which most of them are.
I was amongst the 1st tournament anglers in Canada to drop shot, I had a huge advantage over the other anglers, I even invented a bait that just won an elite event on Champlain, if you havnt tried it, fo yourself a favour 👊
How much leader line do you recommend between the hook & weight? Never tried a drop shot but with video im going to try it soon. Just need to know how much line between hook & weight
ive always had the rig but never used it. this whole week nothing was biting till i just saud. what the heck, so i went for it and caught 23 fish bc nothing was biting
THE BEST DROP SHOT VIDEO PERIOD! To the point, clear and organized. Easy to get how to tie also. God bless you brother. Keep on casting.
I got a question here. Why the drop shot hooks are relatively small? Why not we use a offset worm hook?
Jeff, great video, thanks. What type & weight line do you recommend?
