Gene, thanks to you, i not only had my best morning on the water, but i got my PB then beat that and got a 6.5lb with a drop shot.I live in Vancouver Washington, across the river from Portland, local lake isn't known for huge bass. I had all top water tied up the night before, then ran across this video. Decided to tie up a drop shot on my wife's rod. Never tried a drop shot, never see anyone use it at my lake. I fish the bank only, no boat and lucky if i land one in a day. Got there at before sunrise, threw a buzz, then a whopper plopper, a frog, then i tossed a swim jig, before i could close the bail my line was running. Pulled up a little 2 pounder. Then for about 30 minutes nothing was going on, lost my swim jig. Tossed a Texas rig, nibbles but no full bites. Then i decided to try the drop shot. I tied a straight shank with the worm lock to go weedless. Put a 4" yum dinger on with a 1/4 skinny weight. I COULD NOT KEEP THEM OFF MY HOOK. for about a full hour i was nailing them over and over. Then about 730am they quit committing and the temp was getting a little high almost 90. I was still getting bites but they were short striking. By far the best day fishing today, and i have you to thank for it! Might even call in to work tomorrow, use up some pto and hit the lake again π. It's supposed to be 115Β° tomorrow, so early morning should be good. If you ever come up my way I'd love to fish with you. Best YouTube fisherman by far.
Thank you! Great video on fishing a drop shot rig. You really make things simple and easy to understand. Any tips on how to tie a fluorocarbon leader onto braided line?
So glad the Facebook group led me here
Great tutorial brother. Most people advertise how to and then end up showing you nothing but them fishing.
Red label is everbit as good of a leader than gold!
Thank you
Came to learn about a drop shot, but my biggest takeaway was I'm an idiot for trying to shove a loop through the hook eye all these years π€¦
Love your videos Always the Best Resource
What do you mean by 15 foot leader? Is that the seagar? And what line do you use before the leader
Thanks a lot ππΎ
Why use a leader and not just run all Fluorocarbon serious question bc Iβm spooled up fluoro all the way
How long of a leader does he use then?
Liked and Subbed. Thanks man!
How do you know when you hit the bottom?
Great advice! Thanks for reminding people to moisten the knot before pulling it tight, people nowadays think that this is old school. I'm 55 years old and because of my Grandpa's tip, almost never lost a lunker. Today, however, early in the morning at sunrise, I lost a 3 1/2 foot pike because I didn't set my drag right and instead of letting him wear himself out, after a 10 minute back and forth battle, I tried to bring him to shore. Fat chance! This old timer let me know how he got that big, making a last minute dash and snapped the line a couple of yards away from victory π’
As they all say, great video without sales. You show it all. Good job and go fishing rverybody!! THX
Great Stuff !
Isn't a weight and a sinker the same thing?
Not much and you?
Im curious as to why use braid if your using a 15 ft leader anyways?
Banana style gets you out of rocks so easily
The pros say not to use a Palomar knot with flourocarbon it will cut into its self
Great video, I'm learning all about bass fishing so I can try some stuff here in AK.
Thank you for the video,big help
Your the best thanks for sharing the wealth
Best explanation I've heard yet, I just bought a setup for getting into it. Thanks
Hey any tips for not getting snagged up on the drop shot every cast? Its always the weight that gets caught on something. Iβm very new to the drop shot setup and I canβt seem to find the sweet spot for it yet
I just rigged this up. Will be using it tomorrow. Question, can you get those slip weights at Cabelas/bass pro?
I Texas rig small soft baits so if a smaller fish comes it doesnβt bite of a piece lol
go dawgs!!
So how many weights do you lose when setting the hook?
can this technique be used in saltwater?
Really appreciate your tips on fishing the drop shot. Canβt wait to try your technique. Thank you
Love this video
Thank you , gonna give it a try. Thanks for the subtle details and tips , youβre a good teacher.
