After watching this last night I tied on a drop shot and a Yum warning shot in ghost minnow nose hooked. I went out today and following your tips I caught my 1st 3 Largemouth ever on it. I used the drag retrieve instead of shaking it. It looks way more natural that way! Thanks for the tips!

Hey really good video man. I've been watching some of your videos and now I'm a subscriber. You really know what you're doing and you make it simple. Thanks 👍🎣

Dragging the line makes the bait "swim" more naturally.You rarely need all that shaking but, sometimes a snap or two will activate the fish.

Thanks for the tip...👍 Fished Texas Rig year round... switched to dropshot & my catches increased but like you mentioned.... heavy weights... awesome videos btw...🎣💯

[BlackdotEnergy]

Excellent tips
Tight lines from South Africa

Need to fish the drop shot more! Because ultralight fishing is my favorite way of fishing! Thanks for the information!

[fredericpons]

Thanks god you are here to put us right back in the good track and i did not know about you before! You're so clever.

[gregstabryla]

Excellent point about imparting to much action on the retrieve. I am dumbfounded when I see others shaking a drop shot like there's no tomorrow. Makes no sense. Another good point Nathan.

I like to use the Hazedong Shad, I also put a hitcherhiker in the nose of the bait to help from ripping off. Can't wait to see your Robo worm set up, Is that more of a power shot set up?

[tomearly]

I use the #1open hook but for my weedless set up I use a #4 offset worm hook. My 2 favorite baits are the 3" thin Senko in the 301 color with the open hook and the 5" thin Senko on the worm hook. For years I bought the 301 color in the 5" thin but for some reason Yamamoto decided to discontinue that color for the 5" thin last year.

Great video! I really liked it and I learned some things too. 👍🎣🇺🇸

Beginner fisherman here. Awesome content. Question. What's the best way to tie the leader line to the main line? Am I using a swivel to prevent the line getting twisted?

[robertbrost]

Nathan, I can't use a 10-15' leader on mine. I can't have the uni knot wrapped around my line on the spool prior to casting. Last week I had a leader a foot too long and the knot grabbed the bottom of one of the eyes on the cast. That bait and weight went real far when it snapped off!

I don't even like the knot coming through the first eye.

[jonatanmurray]

the drag and the bait do all the work for you when drop-shothing

[thendricks]

Almost have forgotten about the flat worm. Wacky rigging a finesse worm has been my goto dropshot for a while

[zacharymartin]

Party minnows are awesome...such a good bait.

[pnw_element]

I caught bass on a trout rod and powerbait lol

[timmontano]

Have you ever fished your dropshot rig using a finesse jig as your sinker rather than the dedicated dropshot sinkers?
I asked because in the irrigation canals where I fish, it seemed that I would double my chances of getting hit when I rigged my dropshot up this way to be able to fish two different levels of the water column at the same time.
The canals I'm referring to are lined with concrete so although there is still a chance of getting snagged on debris in the canals, the chances of getting bites is greater than getting snagged, especially if I use a jig with a weed guard.
I've asked a couple of other YouTubers this same questions about their dropshot setup and it appears that I'm the only one doing this.

What knot do you use to connect your braid to your fluorocarbon leader?

[IsaacFNghost]

i was using just any old weight i could find in my tacklebox, a large off-set hook, and a lizard soft plastic xD.. think i can probably get why i didn't get any bites now LOL
