DROPSHOT FISHING FOR PERCH

This video shows my approach to Dropshot fishing for Perch on the river. I try to go into detail about my Dropshot rigs and the lures I use for this style of fishing. Some say Drop Shot and others, Dropshot but either way it's a fantastic method of finesse fishing for big perch. We review lure rods, reels and the tackle and approach I take when using this method.

Well done very informative. I have been fishing since a child but lure fishing is new to me, its a new discipline to learn, especially during this pandemic. With regards to Perch becoming less active as it gets colder, is there a water temp 'rule of thumb' to use for the change from Creature baits to Ned rigs? many thanks

@Lifeonthebank 3 жыл бұрын

I tend to fish slow. You can do this with both creature baits and neds. The main thing is that you slow down. They’re just not chasing like they do in the milder weather. I do like a Ned Rig as the lure is bouyant and it sit up proud which I’m sure triggers extra bites! Good luck!!! 👍

I could never get on with braid. Ended up using a line the Americans use for ice fishing which is great. I only fish up to 4-5g max and normally stick at 2-3g so that may be the issue. Is there any particular brand of braid you swear by ?

@Lifeonthebank 3 жыл бұрын

I’m happy with the Snapper Dropshot braid but I’m currently testing a really nice thin braid that’s excellent but has no name at present. A lot of people have moved back to fluoro, especially on bfs. What do you find the main advantages?

@user-rl6wr2ny7f 3 жыл бұрын

@@Lifeonthebank The stuff is 0.14mm(3lb) Trilene cold weather. I can cast in cross winds with no issues. Rarely get windknots, haven't had one since last August. Its casting ability feels close to braid.It feels very strong. It is fairly sensitive,i often use a tungsten jighead which helps. The last braid i have used was the J braid at 0.08mm which was very sensitive but did not behave well. The line i believe is a mono which sinks well, helps with presenting lighter lures. I have got away without using a leader which is surprising as the line is electric blue!
