I'm a big fan of the Owner Cover shot for T-rigged applications. Best hook I've ever used on a drop shot.

Thanks for the video and, thanks for the tip about skin hooking the bait on the flat side. What you said made a lot of sense!

My favorite way to fish a drop shot. Shallow and around cover. Works GREAT!

Thanks Todd for explaining your method for drop shotting!!! Have never had any trust in this fishing method before now so I will certainly give it an

Great drop shot tips Todd! Now I have another use for my medium bait casters .

Great video I like the no BS approach.

I love how you explained the knots. I use a Palomar knot on everything but braid and a uni- knot on braid. Double Uni for leader. I have never broken a knot that was tied right. Just use a knot you have confidence in

Great video as usual answered some questions I had, but now I'm waiting to see if aaron approves!!

Great tips video

always look forward to your tips vids Todd. I live near Lanier, so nose hooking DS is primary. However, in ponds and areas with more cover, I prefer your ewg hook method. Tight lines!!

Finally, a drop shot video!!! After watching video of me setting the hook with a drop shot I have been trying to reel in and smaller hook sets. Kept breaking the line and I think it’s because smaller line and too much force in hook sets.

Back in the 90's we used to "yankee rig" on toledo. Basically you just tie your hook above your carolina rig weight. It was in a Bassmaster magazine way back when.

Was throwing a very similar setup last week in standing timber and deep brush piles. About only difference was I had to tie the sinker on to keep from losing it. Works very well.

Snapped off two last time out....lol....on 10lb line ... Playing with drop shot myself... sometimes I get excited about the bite and have a tendency to set to hard....lol...got to learn to lean into them.....Good video Todd

You guys have to try Bambuie Bear Heavy cover grass shots. Best tungsten drop shop weight to through cover by far.

Todd,

Great video but I'd like to see how you tie it up for a baitcaster and spinning reel.

you aint gonna catch me using no damn fairy wand....It's a sad day when T Castledine uses a pixie stick. Nah Im just kidding, this is a great vid, and a lil dif take on a traditional dropshot vid. I really enjoy these vids, and I never understood the people who just will not use a spinning rod or finesse technique. You gotta use what the fish want and if that means super finesse, that's what it is. keep these vids coming Todd......good stuff!!!

Just recently added couple of spinning setups / light line too.

I used to throw a drop shot 20 years ago when I was a teenager on baitcasters but do you really think in east Texas it’s better than say a t rig or even a shaky head? Im like you but I hate a spinning reel. I’ll eventually embrace it but not anytime soon.
