I use dropshot 90 % of the time and can catch a lot of fish on the rigs I use . I tie up the same way you do . I'm 100% V.A. disabled for PTSD from Vietnam 68-69 TET . I think nobody but a professional could afford all the gear you use with this outfit . I fish for my therapy for the problems I have, and my cheaper outfits work very well for me . I am an expert with dropshot because I have been doing it for years .Even at 76 I would like to have better gear, but that's O.K. . Have a great day .
hey i enjoyed reading your comment most of us normal folk dont need all the flash we're out there for the experience! What matters is the technique and i bet youve got yours down to the T. -- Thanks for your service as well and stay golden -- PEACE AND LOVE
Trying to get back to fishing, havent fished in 20 yrs. The sport has changed alot! So much stuff out there! These videos confuse the heck out of me with so much technical names for everthing. Omg just show me how to tie my nots!
So my fishing buddy is just nuts about fishing...can't hold still for shit.....so when the bites tuff....he struggles.....for me?....less is more....I cast out a little....move my bait just to show it's alive....then hold it still as I can and wait.....after I'm like 4-5 fish ahead...I just let the fish keep messing with my bait...I say "hey......I'm get'n bit".....we watch my rod tip wiggle and shit....drives my buddy crazy...he's like "SET THAT F**K'N THING!!!"....makes me crack the F up....and that's what bass fish'ns for...having fun.
I have this rod, it’s very good. Sensitivity is definitely there, but what really shines in this rod is the medium action. I used to fish medium light, but I realized it’s too light of an action to fight any fish 3 pounds or above. This rod actually gives you power to fight the fish and the land ratio for me is much better. Good tip to backbone transition . Also, let you go up to 1/0 or 2/0 finesse Hook easily, and still penetrate.
I'm confused.. here is why.. you say 7' leader but you have it around 11' ik this cause that rod is 7'1 and ur braid to leader knot was at ur finger and u had atleast 4 foot or more hanging from the tip top.
Hi, I'm pretty new to this. Can someone please link/ tell me the name of the third bait he is talking about at minute 4.45? He says shad, senko and I can't figure out which the last one is. Thank you
Thanks for the video. There’s one aspect of fishing a drop shot rig that I don’t get and hope that either you - or one of your subscribers who have experience using it - can explain. I thought that the technique is for fishing vertically, either from a boat or a pier or breakwater etc. from dry land. However, many pro anglers suggest that it can be cast out and, not only that, but fished in fairly shallow water. This I don’t understand, because the main line is not going to be perpendicular to the water, it’s going to be at a minimum of 45 degrees - if not more. Consequently, the lure will not be ‘swimming’ anywhere near horizontally in the water column - but either pointing down at a steep angle towards the bottom or upwards at a steep angle towards the surface. This strikes me as being a most unnatural presentation and would not fool a bass or, indeed, any other predatory fish! So, what am I missing? Help please!
The weight at the bottom is meant to be an anchor so your bait can stay in one area for a long time. Yes the line is angled but since your fishing a unweighted soft plastic bait, most well built softplastics have a decent float to them that will keep the bait upright like a fluke or a senko they stay horizontal in the water.

Jack Herron thank you for your service and God Bless
Nothing beats the Drop Shot Rig, LOTS of bites, LOTS OF THERAPY
Thx for your service happy labor day
Hey Jack-
Do you have videos? I would love to see a cheaper rod and reel combo kill the fish running drop shot. Thanks for your service as well.

Wondered same thing

Appreciate the review man and nice handle! 😁
What size is the tatula reel does he use 2500, 3000, or 4000 size ?
He uses 4000
Excellent information Brent Keep it simple is drop shoting What knot do you tie or prefer between the 12# and 8# Sunline? Thanks
U never fished Lake Lanier have u......it definitely is a player...
No.
I remember picking you up at Ford Park, where each single fish had been caught by you at least a hundred times...what a great career!
New to drop shot. Thanks for the tips! 🙌
Does anyone know what size that EXIST he is using is? the 2510 or the 3012?
Jusr curious why you use 12 lb braid with an 8 lb leader? Wouldnt 8 lb braid cast better? Im guessing the 8 lb fluoro would break before the braid.
What size spinning reel is he using?
He didn’t say
Great information....I'll be changing my drop shot up tomorrow. Thanks Brent
What braid and size do you use?
'Fast taper'? You mean slow, right?
I'm confused.. here is why.. you say 7' leader but you have it around 11' ik this cause that rod is 7'1 and ur braid to leader knot was at ur finger and u had atleast 4 foot or more hanging from the tip top.
This setup has you at the top of the MLF Score Tracker. Great Job
Great stuff, only forgot one thing. The knot for the leader. FG? boooooooom
Drop shot has won the most Money in bass crank bait is second
An excellent video with a lot of useful information. I am going to write down the data Mr. Ehrler has provided. Thank you very much.
Met you today and bought one...

Shimano Stradic 2500 with Shimano SLX Medium on 15lb to 8.4lb leader with size 1 hook paired with Samatis drop shot bait.
i use drop shot here in NH all the time
Thank you!
Awesome like always great video
The
I never trust anyone trying to sell anything. Nice try.
Hard to watch a video of someone covered in sponsors, recommending their signature overpriced gear.
Pena?
The leader you show looks to be 20” at least
What knot do you use to connect the leader to your braided line? Great vid!
EZEEKEEL Palomar is what I use
Uni to Uni or FG knot
I am with you sir I don’t like Ultra light rods med or med heavy 👍
Medium POWER, not action. "Medium action but fast action". No, it's a medium power fast action rod. Cmon, man.
Watched the whole video I wanted to know what size reel he uses, nothing?
What size Tatula LT reel is Brent using?
david97916 Was wondering the same thing......
Pretty sure its a 3000
You guys think this is the 3000 or the 3000D?
Can’t tell if it’s the deep spool or not.
Yea wth lol
4000
Why do you guys wear such gay shirts. NASCAR WANNABE?
shurppa64 ever heard of sponsors idiot?
Paulo D,,,,,, still gay as fuck
shurppa64 Ok cool guy. Must be too
complicated for your small brain to comprehend. I feel sorry for you.
