In this video, I test drop shot rigs underwater in an Olympic size swimming pool. I film the action of the drop shot with different weights, baits and leader lengths and give tips and instruction on the best setup, hooks, line, and retrieve for fishing a dropshot offshore for bass. Hope you enjoy!

Underwater reviews are needed for every bait out there. I have yet to use the drop shot but now know how! Thanks!!!

@scottleggejr 3 жыл бұрын

That and you get what you pay for in production value. What I mean by this is cheap baits with a ton of variance in the manufacturing changes how the baits work. I've had a single unit of a make/model kill and the one in the box next to it never catch a fish.

If you could Show the action of the bait and you working rod at same time would be great. So we can see how you are moving rod to make bait move how it does on video.

Perfect underwater video, I guess the difference of the weight is how easy the weight gets moved with the presentation and how tight that weight pulls the line. Thanks for the always great content!

@danham3344 4 жыл бұрын

I really love all your videos. I have a very analytical & scientific approach to my fishing so your info is always interesting and relevant. I was surprised by many of the learned facts in this video, especially how vertical the baits were in the “video fishing” style. I will certainly be doing more wacky when fishing this way. Loved the floating baits on a casted slow retrieve. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.

@jbjgibbons 4 жыл бұрын

I am also surprised by the results and think it is counterintuitive. But using my high school education, I’d hypothesize that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And force equals mass x acceleration. Therefore, the heavier the drop shot weight, the greater the rebound force pulling back against the lure as you drag and stop the weight. And because the water simulates a more weightless environment, the result is magnified as the effect of gravity is reduced due to buoyancy. 🤓😳 So as your test demonstrates, it is important to adjust the size of the weight to achieve the desired effect! I’m actually really glad you did this. It will change the way I drop shot fish. 👍🏻

Enjoy the methodology and experimentation. Definitely have a niche concept/location that'll produce endless material. I like how its a few baits with multiple changes to the terminal tackle. Really allows for a greater understanding. Biggest takeaway from this video was the pink floating worm. It blended into it's surroundings. Found that to be interesting.

Thank you!

@reeldieloutdoors6798 4 жыл бұрын

You are becoming the next bass professor. Your videos are so good it's insane and every time I watch them I learn so much. I'm right there with you on how you thought a lure would work a certain way and then it didn't (better or worst). Seeing this video is certainly going change up some of my presentations (aka Keitech drop shots). Very good video! Also me: Even the way you stored the rods in the rack behind you look cool - at a slant. Which now I'm wondering if I have been storing mine wrong - lol.

@krga94c 2 жыл бұрын

This is a very revealing, particularly from a fishing-from-shore perspective, where you[re reeling in from deep to shallow. But I imagine it would be a different perspective (even with the Keitech), fishing from shallow to deep, as it would be from a boat

@FishOn1 4 жыл бұрын

Really enjoy this series. Seeing similar baits (floating vs sinking) with Ned and Nemo would be interesting. I make a lot of my own soft plastic and leave most without salt so they float. This is great info. For vertical fishing with a floating worm, using a slightly heavier hook on a Texas rig might end up with a more horizontal lure presentation.

Thanks for this video. I fish 80% drop shot and try all kinds of baits. Im always wishing I could test in a pool to see what Im actually doing. Drop shot is #1 method of sub-surface bass fishing. If I were challenged with only one option in a competition, I would choose the drop shot.

Thanks for making that video I normally hook my drop shots 18 to 24 in off the bottom seeing how this works at one foot, and at 4 ft and at 6 in was a big help I will stick to the 18 to 24 in your video shows a great fall and wiggle and the swimbaits works better with the one quarter ounce weight for the technique I'm using this answer many questions thanks a lot
