How To Use The Double Dropshot For Big Trout
Рет қаралды 28,038
Жыл бұрынIn todays trout fishing video I'm going to go over exactly how to use the double dropshot to catch trout. I will show you everything you need to know to get out there and start hooking up some of those monster trout. I will tell you when and where to use the technique, what rods, reels, and line you will need, show you exactly how to tie the dropshot rig, and then exactly how best to fish it.

Question for you sir, when you store the ones you tie before hand, do you put multiple in one ziplock bag or one drop shot rig per bag?
@SeaSpankerOutdoors 5 ай бұрын
I just put one rig in each bag. I also use ziplock freezer sandwich bags, they are a bit more rigid and it helps keep the rig from tangling.

It’s my understanding that drop shot is only legal for still water in California, but not for streams or rivers. Is that accurate?
@SeaSpankerOutdoors Ай бұрын
Interesting. Ive never heard that but it may have to do with the amount of hooks on a dropshot rig in moving water. I could see a rig with two or more hooks may be illegal in certain waters but a single im pretty sure is legal in most rivers and streams
@thebear74 10 ай бұрын
i gotta ask, i use a medium light for bass fishing specificly dropshot. However, I use this rod and my celilo a lot for trout in the fall is that good enough for double shot?
@SeaSpankerOutdoors 10 ай бұрын
Sure it will get the job done. If you get to where you really like the technique you can invest in an ultra light rod more suited for dropshot but you will be able to make it work with the med action rod in the meantime

Thanks for this! Very helpful for sure. Do you usually put more than one rig in the ziploc or keep them separate in their own bags? Just curious how you keep them from getting tangled up if more than 1 per bag. Lol.

I just put one rig in each bag and I use freezer bags that are sandwich size. The freezer bags are a bit more rigid and it helps prevent tangles. The rigs do tangle once in a while but its pretty rare 🤘

Do you notice that this increases the strength of the knot a noticeable amount?
@temijinkahn511 10 ай бұрын
@ryanm4834 I use it to prevent knots from slipping which happened the most when the line gets cold. Most breaks happen where the knot line is wrapped around the hook eye. The Palomar knot works well because two lengths of line wrap the eyelet. With other knots such as uni or cinch, I always put the line through the eyelet twice then tie the knot. You are now spreading the stress at the hook eyelet over two lengths of line instead of one.

Sorry fat fingers, one more question. What is the color pattern of jigs between dark and clear water?
@SeaSpankerOutdoors Жыл бұрын
Honestly its kind of random haha. You never can really tell what they are gonna want day to day whatever the water clarity. The baseline rule I follow is more natural looking colors in clear water and neutral colors in dark/stained water, whites and blacks and dark greens. There is also something to be said about matching the color of the water. When the water is green or brown matching your bait to the water color works now and then 🤘
