It's been a poor die-back this winter. I found myself wanting for a cheb or weedless system on a recent trip to a new spot that I had never fished before (as we are restricted to local angling atm), I will update my armoury appropriately - thanks for the easy walk-thru vid guys :)
Love the vid, thank you. Just taken up Lure fishing so this is a great help. I love Dropshotting and its super easy. Even bought my 12yrs daughter a dropshot set up and just after a quick 10min lesson with her she was in to a Perch and one of 5 in just 1 hour. Superb gear from Fox and would recommend to any lure fisherman or fishergirls 😉
Won’t it be nice to see all these videos filmed on rivers with lots off weed etc which makes it very hard to get the lures through to fish and not all on canals where it’s easy to fish with lures and all techniques work relatively anyway ,, and don’t say just use weed less lure rigs ,, I’ve fished my local river for years and it holds some very very big perch and a lot off pike but it has so much weed it can break you sometimes trying to get through and forget about getting a rig on the bottom 👍 good video though thanks 🙏
In the video it is recommended that, ideally 2 rods, drop shot and jigging rod, should be taking out, but if only one then use a jigging rod for drop shotting. I personally do not agree with this advice. I would recommend a slightly heavier drop shot rod for its intended purpose plus light jigging. I believe this is more versatile. Drop shot fishing is very difficult and not so effective is you cannot keep in contact with the bottom.
I fish a 25g 2.7m rod for my dropshotting. Most of my dropshot is done at actual "range" though. Not twenty feet away on the canal. More like 80 meters away in 30+ feet of water.
I agree in saying this is an incredibly informative video. As a beginner, I'm wondering if you're tying each leader directly to your main line or are you using a snap & swivel to connect the leader to the main line? I actually have that question after watching a few of your videos.
Great video as always. Learning alot from your videos. Must say that you on fox rage have the nices lures on the soft bait market. To bad all the swedish shops dosent have the hole range that you show in the videos. Can i order from your homepage? Nice cap by the way👍
Thank you for the feedback, and glad you find the videos useful. Hopefully shops will start to stock our full range soon in your area as we don't offer online ordering directly from our site. Good luck with your fishing!
Great video, I find the Drop Shot a great rig. The canal local to me is full of broken branches and trees, the drop-shot weight slides over the debris.
Haven't tried the texas yet but just bought some of your 'kwik change weights' for that purpose, certainly give it a go with creature baits, think thats the first time I've seen what I assume was a native crawfish not a signal. Good explanitary vid though thanks
@@kieranberney8620 I don't agree with that statement. I have seen plenty of native Crayfish in urban settings. All invertebrates are highly sensitive to pollution. I am saying also that this one is for sure a native. And nice to see.
our street fighter nets have a clip so can easily attach to a belt or bag. see the nets here:www.foxrage.com/home/product/street-fighter-landing-nets?b=Rage&c=landing-nets
needed close-up shots on a desk for weedles lure setting and dropshot hook knot. can't see a thing on riverbank. 10 mins work at home with yellow line and large hook to demo dropshot knot is crucial to learn correct orientation
Probably the most informative jig video I’ve found on TH-cam👍🏻 thank you Fox Rage
Glad you found it useful and good luck with your fishing 🎣👍🏼
Did you no its against the law to put crayfish back into the water,as they are a invasive species, plus they make good eating,
It is illegal to remove native crayfish, it is only the signal crayfish you can take and is invasive.
Excellent video, thanks for a very clear explanation of the different techniques!
Good, straight forward explaination of the basics. Might you have included the Cheb rig? As good as drop shot in cold winter water!
Cheb is a bottom bait. Drop shot is mostly used for suspended fish.

Very informative thank you
I feel like I've just been re-educated on soft lure fishing. Great vid, thanks.

I use a snap for jig heads and cheb rigs. I tie texas/Carolina/dropshot straight onto my flouro leader with palmar knots.

@@nospoon4799 you make no sense😂 what don't you agree with?
Paddles are great on the dropshot. Especially if you let them drop. They want a heavy head though.
Brilliant vid, it answered so many questions, well done
Straight to the point 👍🏼 about everything
Very clear and informative. 👍
👏👏🎣🎣
