How To Drop Shot for TROUT | Santa Ana River Lakes

Күн бұрын

What’s up Anglers!?! Trout fishing SARL is a tough one! This day I hooked up early before the sun could even get over the mountain on the horizon ahead. I started with the drop shot technique that day, and that was the only fish of the day. It goes that way sometimes at SARL. Finesse fishing is toughest there. As the past I deceide to make this “How To” video of the drop shot technique. It’s a good technique that can come in handy! If you want more how to videos, drop a comment! As always, keep those lines tight and thanks for watching, Anglers!

Hi was just wondering why you cut down the tag end , I mean why set a depth before you know where the fish are in the water column . I sometimes leave myself a foot of adjustment below my weight, does not bother the fish and sometimes makes all the difference when fishing at distance

Good point! At this particular water I’m familiar how these fish hold. But you’re right, in ordinary circumstances. Thanks for watching! GET Made!

I use a T knot for my drop shot, it bait away from the line and gives it a lot of action when I wiggle the tip of my rod. Since I've switched to this method my bites and hookups have increased like 10 fold, I used to get a lot of bites but the hookup was lacking.

@TroutMadeAnglerCo 3 жыл бұрын

That’s a good tip! I can understand that method need to test it out GET MADE!

@catch22fishing65 3 жыл бұрын

@@TroutMadeAnglerCo I feel like when my drop shot was right on the line it would keep the fish from taking the hook fully, I feel like when they hit it hard they push the hook away with their face, but with the T knot you've got the hook off of your line. Hey Skipper and Fata Morgana I think it's his name has some great tutorials for that knot.

2 questions, why did you cut the tag end ? And why did you keep cranking on your reel handle? . I dropshot most days for bows and do better only turning the handle slightly to take up any slack i create and how can you adjust up the way if you pre set your depth by cutting the tag end

@empiricalfishing1187 3 жыл бұрын

I’m confused on why you used a Phenix elixir there would be very mediocre sensitivity due to the fact it’s a parabolic action I would use something with a solid tip like an ajing rod never anything the slightest bit whippy or I would use an ultralight bass rod because this is one of the techniques that are specific to ultralight bass rods.

@TroutMadeAnglerCo 3 жыл бұрын

You make great points. The fast action elixir is not whippy. It has a stiff tip, and you may lose sensitivity but you get the back bone, and your weight is 1/16 or 1/8 and your hooks and plastics lots of gear, so a heavier rod is needed. To each their own, nothing to be confused about - this is my preference and what feels and works for me. Keep getting MADE!
