Nose Hook or Thread Your Drop Shot Baits?

- Do you nose hook or thread your drop shot baits. There are those that believe the baits action is improved if you rig it one way, while others say the hook up percentage is improved if you rig it the other way. In today’s “Underwater Wednesday” we go into the pool to see the effect of each and the results may surprise you!

Another great video, Mark. Thank you! I nose hook most of the time but your underwater video has me motivated to try threading. I’m going to try it this weekend. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Thanks man. I’m definitely going to be doing some more “on the water research” after doing this video. I appreciate your feedback.
Totally agree with you. Nose hooked didn't look as good. That dream shot looked amazing . I do both but I think I try threading more
We’re on the same page buddy!
I fish drop shot on the bottom and as the top drop shot gurus say, less movement is better. I would not use either hook as I throw them in brush and breder weedless. Gamakatsu Wicked Wacky Hooks in 1/0 are best as you tie a palomar and run the tag end down through the straw on the hook to your weight. Only prob is even the 1/0 is kind of large and obnoxious looking
I appreciate you sharing this information.
Good footage Mark. The hook I use is dependent on the bait I’m using. For example if I’m using a worm type bait I often use a 1/0 wide gap hook so it’s weedless. Minnow type baits I’ll nose hook.
@@jonbullard7074 I think you’re right on! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Great footage of the dropshot baits! I think both have their places. I can see the threaded, longer hook, looking great when the fish are a little apprehensive. It does "hover" naturally like a baitfish.
I also think the nose-hooked version is great for aggressive fish. Something about the quicker darting action which can trigger a reaction strike.
Maybe next Wednesday you can do a field trip and fish both to see what pays off that day. Do you need another excuse to go fishing?
I like the way you think!
Field trip!
Ive always used a squid tentacle and for the thicker ones i threaded and the thinner ones got nose hooked so its nice to see the diffrance
Happy to help!
Have definitely gone to threading the 5” or longer baits. For the reasons you stated. I will nose hook more buoyant baits (elaz-tec material).
I was thinking that “floating” baits would stay horizontal like you said. Therefore nose hooking would probably be my choice as well. Thanks for sharing your insights.
KVD told me to thread my Max scent flat worm on the hook Thats all i do now. It works !
It’s nice to know that KVD and I agree. It just took me 30 extra years and doing these TH-cam videos for me to finally figure it out! Lol. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your comments, have a great weekend.
@@markfisheroutdoors thanks for the pool views. Awesome
My pleasure
The pool is clutch !!
@@FourthCoastOutdoors absolutely, we want to continue to utilize this resource ( that other content creators don’t have access to) as we move forward. Be sure to tune into tonight’s episode because we talk about this in greater detail! Thank you for watching and commenting.
This seems to be pertinent to casting a drop shot and working back to the angler. What if it is just dropped straight down, as if fish are below the boat? Does the two hooking methods change the action?
Based on what I saw, I think threading the bait on a longer shank hook would help keep the bait more horizontal in that application as well.
Have you tried an owner down shot hook?
Threaded the way to go absolutely more natural.
@@jessiepayne737 appreciate you my friend!
Try wacky rigging your baits and do a video on them.
