It is very informative. Really demonstrating how subtle the use of the rod should be. I used this in a Lakeland tarn. Straight into deep water. Too deep to effectively use lures on a retrieve. The techniques on here really helped increase the catch rate on a cooler day.
This is the best drop shot video I've seen. I realised what I was doing wrong on my first attempt (..... everything) and today did much better, connecting with a few perch. It's a really fun method that I can enjoy throughout the winter. Thankyou!
Amazing video, I've just got into ultralight fishing and this is the best video I've found so far, if I catch a fishing down my local canal next time it will be all thanks to you!
You don't need a rod and reel to do this style of close quarter fishing, you can do it simply with a 6 - 7 foot fixed line pole or whip with a pole's length of fluorocarbon on and some micro jigs/plastics, it's called dibbling job done. No expensive rod or reel, no braid, just a whip/pole with a length of fluorocarbon and a box of micro jigs/plastics.
Thanks for a great video, I'm completely convinced.... now I just have to wait a few months for the ice to break here in Canada. I hope we will see more of these excellent videos.
I never tried wacky rigging a soft plastic like that for a drop shot, wonder if that'll work for bass, great video! Makes me want to get out and perch fish, not having to buy live bait which is so messy is a huge plus!
it would be fun to measure the dinks, and everything else; compete with your buddies, i've got one friend that outfishes me regularly. i'm in Northern Michigan, USA. thanks for the good content.
those Ecogear pocket packs are great .I caught 7 pounds pollock on the tiny darter yellow color on 1 gr size 12 jighead.I I didnt get much fish with dropshot but im going to try again with much smaller movements and much closer to the bottom.Maybe the best video on dropshot.
I thought there was no fishing allowed within 25 meters of locks - or does it not apply to “roving” lure fisherman. Only ask because I’m thinking of having a go when on a narrow boat hol later in the year
I’m a sea fisherman. I like hunting fish for food. Great video of a technique that I previously didn’t understand. Another thing I don’t understand, is why bother catching these tiny fish that you can’t eat, in the first place? It’s not much sport, pulling up a goldfish.
Our favourite method is with an improved Albright. It's quite tricky to tie at first but with practise it becomes quite easy. It is very small and very strong.

Andrew L yeah you could, although that line is prob a bit thick for tiny spinning/drop shot rods, probably best with 10lb braid and say 8lb fluoro, you could still land a big pike on that.
If he is in a match and he catches 11 10cm fish, in an hour. It’s worth more that if someone catches a 1 meter pike. That’s what he is explaining Peter. This guy does plenty of videos where he is catching big fish if that’s what you want Peter. Ok Peter?
This IS the best drop shot video on UA-cam.

I watched this video years ago and just rewatched and it's still the best drop shot video around.
What a video for drop shotting! Absolutely brilliant
great help mate,iv been fishing for 40 years and just like the look of drop shotting
Amazing video, I've just got into ultralight fishing and this is the best video I've found so far, if I catch a fishing down my local canal next time it will be all thanks to you!
Just getting into this after 20 years of carp and course fishing, looks a great craic, thanks for a very informative and interesting video
Best dropshot vid on the Tube! 👍👍
well described
Very good
I feel I learned a lot here.

I was thinking the same, whip with small jigs & away you go fishing to hand. A simple way to get the same results and buzz
Tight gits haha
video got reccomended to me by a fellow angler, as i fancy giving drop shotting ago. very informative and excellent video. thank you

neon coloured hooks are killer always hit decent pike surprisingly , mustad have them in decent size

2 of my favourite places to go drop shotting there steve on the stainy and the junky :)

I looked away for a second, and I swear I thought I heard Karl Pilkington explaining drop-shotting to me. Brilliant.
Hell of a lure for dropshot: The lunker city hellgie. You'll catch absolutely everything on that.
Great video, but those 10 cm fish? Around here, Savannah, GA, we call that bait!
Top marks to you and your camera man or woman 👍
Top advice.
Can i ask what lb flurocarbon Steve is using on his dropshot set-up?
Wow ! That was one of the most clear and helpful tutorials I have seen on here . Are the hooks barbless ? Thank you very much !😉👍🐋🐋

Nice video!
Steve, great video, what size hook are you using? Keep up the good work 👍
Great skills mate where do you buy your pocket boxes please
The Wykewell bridge 😊
great video, really informative. what unhooking mat do you have hanging off you hip bag?
Interesting video and simple look at the gear. One question though, how do you join your braid to the fluorocarbon please?

Hello everyone is using two hooks and lures attached to the same main line legal in the UK ?
I have seen in the byelaws the we can have up to three
Hello,nice video.Can you please tell me if this method works for chub?
And what pound flurocarbon line you using mate
hi where can I buy the lures y use please fab video
Hi James, if you google Ecogear you will find quite a few stockists in the UK.
Many thanks have found cutting down lures and fishing smaller hooks works a treat great advice cheers
James Gillies
can u tell me the waist bag type please
What make is your bag?
what brand reel & braid is that please?!
You need 20 ..1pound fish to make a 20 pound equivalent not a Metre of 10cm fish ,so thats 10 to a metre and they average 3 ounces.
hi , the lure you refer to as the "aggi" can you tell me what it is and where to get them from exactly please
just a 'twister tail'
Can I ask where do you get the Gamakatsu 2033F hooks from? Struggling to find them!
art of fishing have them
Does this work with trout too? Great videos. Subbed
I've been wondering about that too and I reckon that it will! These lures weigh next to nothing. No reason why they wouldn't work on a fly rod too
Whats the little tube shape on your hip Steve ?
His unhooking mat I think
Can i use 20lb braid and 15lb flurocarbon mate
Andrew L yeah you could, although that line is prob a bit thick for tiny spinning/drop shot rods, probably best with 10lb braid and say 8lb fluoro, you could still land a big pike on that.
@@thecasualfront7432 nice one mate thank you
what unhooking matt is that
Hi Steve, or anybody, could they tell me specifically which brand of japanese rod and reel he is using?
Reel is a Megabass gaus 20x
Reel brand(size,model)?
Megabass :)
Gaus 20x
👋👋👋
can't find the hooks anywhere!
+Tom Britton try harris sports mail, angling direct, fosters of birmingham, agm fishing and art of fishing
A quid for every time he says no jigging
gd vid
That's me put off drop shotting for life then !
Nice Rolex
are you single big boy lol
can you dropshot with prawns ?😂
yes. cant see why not. and worms.
Are you single?
Really enjoyed this video until the Rolex was flashed around.
tlny fish.how boring>
you don't get it really do you?
@@CadenceFishingUK no.not at all.
Explain please.
@@peterwalker5433 it's about accumulation of length. Could be a metre long pike, 50 can perch or 10 CMS perch. It's the accumulated length which wins.
If he is in a match and he catches 11 10cm fish, in an hour. It’s worth more that if someone catches a 1 meter pike. That’s what he is explaining Peter. This guy does plenty of videos where he is catching big fish if that’s what you want Peter. Ok Peter?
