what knot do you use??
hey, I fish a very weedy lake in the summer that gets a pretty good amount of fishing pressure weekly. I was looking for a new finesse way to catch fish and this looks great but the weeds at some points are three feet off the bottom. Should I use a longer leader to the weight or around a 12 inch one like you were using?
Thanks.
for everybodys info… dont switch your hands like this guy, you’lll miss a lot of fish.. always hold your standard spinning rod/reel with your right hand leaving your handle hand free to crank… and dont bounce it too dang much, the slack will cause you to miss hits..
this is some good info. Thanks for the vid.
nice job man! keep wackin’ em
ay roger i got a question now i know the dropshot technique extremely well and i was at a pond a few days ago i was dropshotting with a 6 inch roboworm wich i think work great in colder conditions i went to this pond and caught 5 largemouth biggest 4 poundes and 1 smallmouth i went back a few days later and i tried my same technique and i caught nothing same day conditions and the water warmed up why werent they hitting??
Thanks man! Great info! I’ll need to do that in my tournament next week! Its cold at the lake I’ll be fishing at so, I’ll give it a try!
I used to fish with this technique on the Willamette just down from the Harrisburg bridge. I agree with you, its a great technique for bank fishing. I used to catch 2 or more every time I went fishing.
Ha ha ha I remember one day I caught 7 trout in an hour an a half. Hell of a day! (tossed ‘em all back)

Gr8 info, thanx!
hey Roger. You have awesome videos do you ever fish in washington near umatilla or plymouth.
if you’ve fished near tricities let me know of any spots you might know of. the columbia, snake and yakima all run through here.
Roger i just wanted to say i watched this video and not an hour after i was out on the lake using this same rig with a black zoom 6 inch worm and i nailed 3 3pound bass it was great i have never used drop shot before but i love it already! thanks alot i enjoy the videos!

gr8 stuff there Roger
Thanks Roger.
you would use the palomar not with this rig right?
i like to use a 3 way swivle and about 2 feet of line to my sinker and the length of the pole im using for the line that goes to my bait
One of my favorite ways to fish. I caught an 8 pounder while drop shottting. I also use swimbaits and catch plenty.
3 inch senko!!!!!! small topwater lures like a rapala.
thanks roger… but wat small lure do u suggest??
if you can see them they can see you. They are not smart but they are not dumb too. make longer casts. Fish at first light and on cloudy days. use smaller lures and you will start catching them.

hey, i have a question, so i fish at a lake where u could see the basses inside the water, everytime i cast something in there, they’ll stare at it then just swim away, i tried gulp, buzzbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, frog, worms, leeches, and they won’t take anything. wat do u suggest i do?
nice vid tanx !!

The problem is in the hookset. With an open hook you reel and sweep into them. You do not need to do a hook set like you do with a texas rigged work. the fish are coming off because your hookset is to week or to fast and strong. A sweeping hook set is best. REEL DOWN BEFORE SETTING THE HOOK. make sure your hook point is sharp, if not change it out.
Roger
ok i have been getting a lot of hits but when i start reeling them in they get off of the hook a lot of the time. do you have any pointers? i’m positive they are small mouths, and i don’t think the fish are too big.
