Drop Shot Rig: How To Rig the Drop Shot (Tutorial)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- The drop shot rig is very simple to tie and this video explains how to tie it in the quickest and easiest way. The drop shot rig is one of the most popular finesse fishing techniques for bass fishing and using this rig will help you catch more bass. This rig is ideal for fishing in tough conditions when fish aren't active or aggressive. The drop shot rig tends to excel most when fished over rocky flats or deep drop offs around sparse structure such as brush or sunken debris. While the drop shot rig is notorious for landing big fish in clear water it is also a very effective dirty water rig as well.

Nice video. Have you seen the free drop shot rig? I saw it on Mike Ike's youtube channel. It uses 2 bobber stoppers instead of tying a not on the hook. It allows for the fisher to modify the drop shot length without tying a new knot and allows for the hook to spin around the line giving it a more realistic presentation. The only negative I could see is that the bobber stoppers may not provide enough resistance so in theory it could worsen the hookset.
I watched several videos on tying the drop shot rig and this one at a little over two minutes was the easiest one to follow👍 I’ve just gotten into Bass fishing over the last couple of months and caught my first fish ( just under four pounds on a light finesse 1 ought rebarb hook set up weedless on a drop shot.it’s also not a bad way to rig a wacky worm .. Now I see guys are power fishing this set up with heavier weights and bigger worms on baitcasters as well.. Thanks for the easy to follow demo🙏
I appreciate the easy delivery, I just came off this dude going on about how his buddy was catching fish and we wasnt and the secret might shock you and all this other shit for 20 minutes
Absolutely perfect video. Had I came here first I’d be headed to the lake and not pissed off. Thank u so much!
Cool instruction, music was a bit too...sensual for a fishing video.
lmao
Adrian Escobar bow chicka bow bow...sexxxxy dropshot
Then mute it dumbass 🤔🖕🖕🖕
Your telling me that sexy rig didn’t get you all hot and bothered? 😂
Adrian Escobar wtf
thank you I got a bunch of drop shot hooks, weights, and plastics this month so this really helps
Jon B's production is always on point !!!
Always coming through with the 🔥 fishing wisdom thank y’all so much for the help
Caught 2 with this rig. Very effective in this pond known for not catching any!
These are well made and look fish enticing. I have checked their movements in low clear water and am anxious to try them in the lake.
Please make more of these videos. also a short suggestion video/s on ways to use and rig baits given with MTB please.
Jon B = Life
Awesome video thanks for sharing hopefully this will work for me when I try to soon
Thank you, I been trying to figure this out. Simple easy to follow video with out a bunch of bla bla bla
Love this! Easy to understand.
Gonna have to try this out. Thanks 😀
Just received my 2nd box. Dat dropshot is NIIIIICE FRIEND!
Jon B back at it again with the dope beats
Great Tutorial. Thanks!
Pretty good info for beginner fisherman trying t get into drop shot fishing . Sure is great on a tough day of bites . Sure I'll be coming back to MTB for my Bass gear soon . So done with LTB and their Leftover Tackle Boxes . Seems like their gonna be going out soon everyone is fed up . I hopefully I be doing your Bass boxes for un boxing with the catfish boxes I already do unboxings of .
The knot is called a palomar knot. You dont need a special weight, just use a standard split shot. I tie 2 overhand knots around the shot. You can vary the length of the line the weight is attached to as well. You can rig the worm like the video shows, you can wacky rig the worm which is just hooking the worm through the middle or you can rig the worm in the standard way. Good basic video that didnt take ten minutes to show something that is pretty simple.
Hey I'm like 2 years late but thanks for the advice!
@who cares Bobbers are for Bimbos
Finally a drop shot video that does not suck!
Hey reins bubblin shaker is my favorite drop shot soft plastic!
Phenomenal video, this is probably one of if not the best drop shot knot tutorial video.
Great to the point video.....👍
This is the best showing how to do drop shot’s unlike others talking too much looking at them self doesn’t even show how!
clearest, simplest explanation ovee seen so far. thank you
maybe point out thats a palomar not too? (for us beginners)
Good tutorial my friend.. awesome
This is a great video!🎣
Thank you very helpful
An instructional video on how to rig various soft plastics such as ones in the MTB would be very cool as well
Great video thanks
Nicely done, love the music
Verycool thanks bunches
I like it I have never dropped shot fished before might be trying soon
+Young Nutrition It's a great technique for clear water, deep lakes, and heavy pressure situations.
Thanks for sharing
All around 2 thumbs up. Great tute.
Great Job
I use a #2 dropshot hook with a 1/4 oz weight and berkley bottum hopper jr worm
thank you!
Nicely done. Easy to understand and duplicate.
Thank you
Cool info..
So wish you would make more of these even with the demonstration at the end!😍
I've never drop shoted either but I will try it
Like those weights a lot I would personally put the weight on at the River hate it when my weight gets tangled around my rod lol
Thank you so much for this!!
I was catching bluegill with an ultralight drop shot the other day! My first drop shotting and it wasn't even for bass!
Thanks for the video. There’s one aspect of fishing a drop shot rig that I don’t get and hope that either you - or one of your subscribers who have experience using it - can explain. I thought that the technique is for fishing vertically, either from a boat or a pier or breakwater etc. from dry land. However, many pro anglers suggest that it can be cast out and, not only that, but fished in fairly shallow water. This I don’t understand, because the main line is not going to be perpendicular to the water, it’s going to be at a minimum of 45 degrees - if not more. Consequently, the lure will not be ‘swimming’ anywhere near horizontally in the water column - but either pointing down at a steep angle towards the bottom or upwards at a steep angle towards the surface. This strikes me as being a most unnatural presentation and would not fool a bass or, indeed, any other predatory fish! So, what am I missing? Help please!
Trust me, the more action, the better.
best hooks size for Texas rig and drops hot guys
Thanks this caught me a 5.2 pound bass
Can you use with a live bait want to use for saltwater fishing thanks
did you use a knot for the sinker or it has some special line cinching thingy? is that specially made so that you will only lose the sinker if snagged? wont you lose it if you cast too hard?
Jon B back at it again with the 80s porn music
+Adrian Plant Yes, Jon B. does have great taste in music!
did Jon B write that?
lol
thanks ... sinker not a little close to the hook though ?
I'm curious to know more about the actual dropshot weight.
I'm presuming it's attached the way it is in case you get snapped off so that the fish has more chance of losing the weight from the line as opposed to a small ledger weight actually tied onto the end of the line?
Am I right?
Cheers
Gary
I followed these instructions to the T, but I find that I don't need to put the tag end through the hook again, and the hook still faces upward. Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe right? lol
thanks
Is it a method fished vertically under the rod tip? I say that because I'm guessing that if you introduce any slack into the line then the lure would simply drop to the bottom, however by fishing it vertically under the rod tip it is easier to keep the line taut and thus the lure sitting up nicely above the weight on the bottom.
Peter, you can fish this vertically off the side of a boat, but you can also cast it out as well. Just keep your rod tip pointed up and twitch the rod tip and then hop it back towards you and reel in the slack every so often.
John and his Japanese inspired video :P
when is the next box for April
So how would I attach this to my rod? Just a snap swivel?
Mtb r u ever getting spro in ur boxes
So for a dropshot like this, do we need a worm that floats?
So do you use a bobber with this set up?
That soft plastic looks awesome
+Dick Murph That is the Reins Bubbling Shaker that we featured in some of our boxes this past month.
Lfg how do you know how much room between the lure and wait I'm very interested but confused
Can’t weight for this answer
I'm not seeing many replies on comments so I doubt I get one but what's the advantages to drop shotting? Can you still cast out or do you need to drop it straight down?
The drop shot is mainly for vertical fishing. It's a finesse method. I have cast it from the bank and boat, however, with good results. But you still have to think of it as a vertical technique.
Use the lightest weight you can to hold the bottom. You will fell the bites better.
Use a bait with neutral buoyancy. You don't want the bait to sink; a nose up/tail-down presentation is awful.
The video shows little distance between the weight and the bait. You can increase that depending on where you think the fish are in the water column. I've used as much as a foot or 18 inches at times. I'm thinking I've had the greatest success with 12 inches between the weight and the bait.
Can you use a 2 inch soft plastic for this? What would be the ideal size of the soft plastic?
Two inch would work for sure. You want most any soft plastic that floats so it has a life like presentation. Not a good rig for a small senko which sinks.
what firm is your fishing hooks
hi... can I use very small part 02:23 02:30 in my video?
Line tie? Is that the eye of the hook?
Great video man, liked and subscribed. Hope we can be as popular as you guys someday on our Outkast Adventures channel
I like the music. Kinda feels like we’re in a Vegas elevator. 😌
You use a Palomar knot I like that
Big Concern: Palomar Knots and Fluorocarbon Lines do not work together at all! In a non-Drop Shot setting using a Palomar Knot with Fluorocarbon line results in regular knot failures on hook sets. I have not used this type of knot with a Drop Shot setup. Isn't this true for Drop Shot rigs as well?
What sort of fish is aimed at with this technique?
Nice fish tank
Great tutorial but is the bait not a little too close to the weight....? Just curious. Thanks
Jamie Prosser It sure is. I think they did that to show you a close-up of the whole rig. You should usually have it from about 10"- 30" depending on fishing conditions and target species. When I fish for Smallmouth on the Detroit River with Yum Warning Shot, I usually stay in the 12"-20" range. We get some hogs that way (I have footage on my channel).
Can I use trick worms for this
With the hook so far forward, what's the hookup ratio like?
Nose-hooking is very effective for largemouth bass, because they are "suction" feeders. They almost always attack the head and the side. I have rarely experienced short strikes with the species.
So literally just a Palomar knot with a long tag end.
Yea but also add a swivel eliminates line twist. You'll thank me later
@@BassNinja Where do I add the swivel?
@@Unspoke up above the drop shot hook. About 12 in above the hook so I tie the hook on followed by the weight. Then take that and tie on the swivel
BASS NINJA just a Palomar knot for the swivel?
BASS NINJA add a swivel to which section?
I know this is a stupid question.. but are you supposed to reel it in all the time? or can you cast it and leave it out there on it's own?
awill891 You should throw it out and make sure your line is taut. You can twitch it a little and move it now and then. It is a slow retreive action. The key is keeping the line taut so the bait stays just above the bottom.

Text to talk sucks! I meant TAUT. To answer your question, yes, taut means tight- no slack in the line.
This video editing has Jon b written all over it
I’ve noticed a lot of videos never talk about the Buoyancy of plastics this could mean a lot if you think about what type of action you want for your drop shot.
john b
you can't do a drop-shot with an EWG bass hook?
Whats your favorite rig
Good video hell ya
Bellissime catture e rilasci, ma sul lago d'orta non è consentito l'uso dell'ecoscandaglio in pesca.......
Can I use a just a regular 1 or 2 ought hook?
as long as its made of metal and not to big go ahead a lot of times people are just trying to get you to buy stuff do what ya want bud
Thanks!
Whenever I see a drop shot I always think of jon b
This is definitely a Jon B production...
The initial palomar knot doesn't look like it's tied right.... The loop isn't back over the top of the knot. It's caught under the eye of the hook...
You're right...and the first move is to go through the eye "hook side" first.
Yep
I would have previously expected accurate information from MTB..... This is just wrong....
Daniel Herrmann Yup
One rig Ive never done is drop shot lol. This work weedless to?
Same here, trying it this weekend fa shoooo!
I didnt know jon makes music
Jon b did it
That's how I do mine but with a uni knot
There is a much easier way to do it than that, applying the technique identical when tying droppers for fly fishing... 👍
of course it's jon b
what about the uniknot??
