Awesome video! I’m here after watching the 58 jigging rap tips. I learn a lot from you and Al, you both have a way of teaching that’s easy to understand and fun.
Bass Pro make a great 7'6" medium light spinning rod called the Prodigy Walleye. Works great for crappies also when pitching jigs. Great video, Thanks.
Caught My first walleye while drop-shotting for smallies a couple summers back, I think people underestimate how effective a Dropshot rig can be for walleye
I've hooked into Walleye many times while dropshotting...often I've found that setting the rod in a rod holder and dragging it 30-50 ft behind the boat while drifting picks them right up (I guess you could call that "trolling with a dropshot rig"). I tend to use plastics whacky rigged on the dropshot hook because nightcrawlers leave mud and guts all over the boat, which pisses off the wife (she can't stand a dirty boat)!
Idky all the walleye guys have this technique and that technique with each season change. I'm also a walleye guy and I drop shot everything and it works through the year. I don't understand the rest of these guys hahaha 😅
The crawler will stretch out significantly once in the water...it gets wrapped up and occasionally fouls by re-hooking itself when not pinched shorter. So it fishes WAY cleaner. And then I also land way more fish that bite. When it's super long they'll sometimes just grab the back half of the bait, but when pinched I'd say I hook-up with 9/10 walleyes that bite.
Once water gets upper 70s and beyond dropshot is a killer option for eyes. I add a few floating beads below the hook and also use the vmc spin hooks bell sinker and your good to go. Try going heavier and staying straight verticle if you have a slow drift. Tight lines!
If your looking for the best rods on earth, look up Kraemer Custom Rods and give Erik a call and get your rod built the way YOU want it. I have a 7’6” med-light xtra fast in my arsenal. Tight lines!

Another great video. Dig the shirt too! I have to adjust these videos because I have the simplest/most basic "graph" in my boat.
you've really helped me 'target' the late summer walleye this year and for that I am grateful. great videos!!
Appreciate you guys sharing good info which is practical and easy to apply on the water
Great video, great information, love to dropshot.
I look forward to all your videos, thanks for sharing your info
ive seen so many walleye channels fishing drop shots this year. ppl finally catching on :)

Nice sounds perfect! Thank you for watching!
Definitely an effective technique with forward facing sonar
Still waiting for Target Walleye shirts and hoods man. Another great vid.

Great vid ... well done sir.
Really enjoy your chNnel!👏
Great tip!
nose hooking BIG minnows and using a stinger hook works good if they want bigger baits in fall. .

Love the videos👌
good stuff.🤔👍👍
Can you use leeches?
Great video,I’m trying to get walleye with this setup but the little perch keeps hitting it.I’m about six inches off bottom,should I go 12 inches

Very good video you would be fun to fish with.do you fish the bay of green bay
Nice Sobi shirt
Why pinch off part of the crawler?
The crawler will stretch out significantly once in the water...it gets wrapped up and occasionally fouls by re-hooking itself when not pinched shorter. So it fishes WAY cleaner. And then I also land way more fish that bite. When it's super long they'll sometimes just grab the back half of the bait, but when pinched I'd say I hook-up with 9/10 walleyes that bite.
I'd consider this, but where I fish it's gobies galore. I lose so much crawlers to gobies.
Will this work on eyes in ky when the water temps are very warm

@@jamesriggs1883 Your welcome.
@@JustSomeGuy641 hey how about a video on how to tie up the diff drop shot rigs you use with and without spinners
At what point is it no longer a leader? Lol 20'!!!! That's crazy long if your main line is only sitting in top. Whatever works though!!!

One question, why would you get more bites with a lighter weight?
Less resistance on the line, fish will hold the bait longer
