- Most top bass anglers rank the drop shot as the best all-around smallmouth bass presentation. We caught up with Mark Zona to learn more about power drop shot rigging - his preferred way to cover water and trigger reaction strikes for smallmouth bass.

Zona discusses behavioral differences between largemouth and smallmouth, namely the latter's propensity for roaming in search of forage. Common sense explains why power drop shot rigging usually outproduces traditional 'slow and subtle' rigging; heavier weights let you fish fast while fluke-style plastics resemble a wide-range of forage.
"Z" shares his favorite drop shot bait and sizes, preferred hook and hooking method, and how heavier weights in the 1/2- to 3/4-ounce range let you impart more dramatic bait actions. These tips add up to more bass in your boat.

Oh man that opening dialogue. Every smallmouth fisherman knows the feeling of going to your favorite hole and they’re just flat not there.
I have to say Mark, you have a gift for teaching that is enhanced by your humor and enthusiasm. I hope this is a passion for you because I think a lot of people could really benefit from your knowledge.
Refreshing to see proper fish handling. Cheers
Man, I’m late to the party on this. Great content.
I love Zonas little one liners. “He is having a T.I.M.E.”.
Yeah I think I'm gonna use that one. 👍
@@LithiumSix66 😂
This is an awesome video. All your videos are spot on in the technique description and overall explanation of why it is used. I love all your videos you make so keep making them and ill keep making notes on your information. I know your video information will help me catch more bass and will even help me win some local bass tournaments.thanks for the awesome info.
Well thank you Burdette. A nice bit of motivation to get us started this find Monday morning. Good fishing to you!
I wish we had smallmouth bass in Louisiana!!! I’ve fished them in the northeast and they are fun!! They fight more than a largemouth I find!!
I live on lake ontario, and i can confirm they fight harder.
I'm always finesse fishing a drop shot. I'm going to try his more aggressive approach.
Nice video and good tip on the 'power' drop shot. Pound for pound smallie fight like no other fish. Up here in Canada you can't pick them up out of the water, just too much fight. You either lift them in the boat or if they're bigger you gotta net them.
That rod action is top notch
“Full of fire 🔥” Love it.
Great amount of information. I thought drop shot was closer to finesse type fishing, I prefer just learning this year. The heavier weight I will try. Thanks for a different perspective
You bet! Thanks for watching Joe, and good fishing to you.
Smallmouth are like Raptors “Pack Hunters” only Zona! Great Stuff Man!
Man great video thanks for the tips those were some chunks 👍
Tubs. I love using a heavy drop shot or powershot.
Great content Z!
Interestingly, in Nova Scotia, the smallmouth seem to act more like you describe largemouth behaviour. They're generally hanging out under a dock or around logs and will just snap at anything that hits the water near them.
Zona is a beast great video
Thank Jose, awesome having the Train on Wired2Fish!
Big Brown Bass are The Best ~ ! Nicely Done Z . . . Llama
Appreciate it Aj!
nice smallie they are my favorite fish to catch I have a great river 5 min from me that is just awsome for smallies! just subscribed to the channel.
Thanks for the sub Bravo Bassin!
going to try this...
Interesting, thank you for this information. Especially about locating bait to locate fish. How does this behavior apply to rivers with fast current ie 5-10mph+ and deep water 10-20'? Locating and enticing fish in those conditions seems a real challenge some days, even though I know they are there (see follow ups)
There’s plenty of largemouth bass in my area and I’ve caught plenty but I really want to catch some smallmouth
This guy is awesome
One of the best!
ナイスフィッシュです！さすがですね！😁👌🎶
Fresh!!!
Smallies will exhibit Largemouth behavior and patterns, Largemouth will also be in packs too. River bass have different patterns than lake bass of both species and there are no absolutes. Many times, just changing color, size, or lure design, is the key. Also, stealth of you and your gear is a big factor when seeking the HOGS that lurk in odd places.
Those were some big Smallies!
What part of the state or just state are you fishing without giving the super secret spot up, and time of the year. Thank you
South West Michigan
Not SW Mich. I know the lake quite well. He's in NW Mich.
Joy Coleman shhhhh🤫
There are no fish in NW Mi. Nothing to see here
@@chadcarr3761 Happy Thanksgiving, will no cross over 😊😊😊😊😊🙈
What color is Z using?
Smokey Shad Baby Ztoo
Can you fish this bait with a light drop shot weight?
If you're fishing smallies, you ain't bass fishing
Casual
