These guys don’t mess around when it comes to fishing. Tailoring their technique, analyzing the weather and figuring out what the fish are feeling. I usually just plunk my bait in the water and contemplate what I’d do if Planet of the Apes happened in real life.

Roboworm for the win they’re the Gary Yamamoto of dropshot with all the colors you’ll never be with out a worm that will get bit especially out here in so cal!

My intro to bass fishing was in the clear waters of San Diego so the drop shot played a huge part in it. The 4” Roboworm was my work horse. Can’t go wrong with those. Great video Tim. Love all TB content and “we appreciate ya” as well. 😊👍🏼

Can't believe the z man trick shotz didn't make it on your list. That's one of my favorite baits for drop shot, ned, and even real light finesse t rig.

Gotta love the underwater footage!! Always great info!!

I fish pressured water,, so dropshot is a go to for me.. I have been banging em on that Netbaits Flexworm...I love those. Also, Netbaits crush and stumpy crush, Dream Shots and instead of the smallie smasher, I use Missile baits Bomb Shot, they float, I'm not sure if S.S. do, I get em in Fishalicious color, which is regular shad looking clearish grey, but they can then be dyed with spike it, or whatever you like to switch it up, without buying a bunch of colors. One other dropshot bait that has really been working great for me is the 3 inch Hasadong Shad by Megabass. If they don't hit the shiver shot looking baits mentioned first, dead sticking those Hasadong's finesses it up even more. I've caught bass when noone is catching anything with them. Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them. LMAO...dude, I wrote my comment halfway through your video, are you up in my head or what...lol! That Hasadong is the deal when nothing else works. I hate that you've put it out though, cause once you do, tue baits are out of stock everywhere!

One of my favorite rig for bass... Thanks

Love your channel you keep fishermen like me informed and entertained man thanks for all you guys do

Jim Brawner - Dallas, TX Great info - you guys always do an excellent job, and this is no exception!

awesome video Tim! Makes me feel confident that I actually have all the baits that are your favorites too. :-)

Thank you Tim! Some great recommendations there. Im going to practice this technique this season and want to get much better at it.

Roboworm FX sculpin is a favorite.

Thanks Tim, love the underwater videos and all the different baits which can be used for the dropshot.

The flatworm is so hard to find. Finally bought a pack of them today. Hopefully they work good. If so I’m going to stock up!

caught my largest fish, a 4'10" on a aarons magic robo worm drop shot, awesome technique, definitely recommend trying it .

I think if nothing else these underwater videos have shown me that all of those "bluegill bites" I've had over the years might be worth a second cast.

Fantastic video. Thanks to previous videos I started using the drop shot in the fall and the way to the current (spring) and it has been a game changer for me. Yesterday I caught my PB using the drop shot with the strike king dream shot.

I started using the drop shot this past winter on your guy's recommendation and it has been a great producer for me ever since. As a shore fisherman I'm pretty limited with places I can fish on my home lakes but the 6" Roboworm in Morning Dawn has been doing WORK for me. Can't recommend it enough, fish hit it on the fall, they hit it right at my feet. This thing gets a ton of bites and some quality fish as well

Been waiting on this one! Thanks!

Tim on your drop shot rods you have a red keeper for the weight. Can you give us a link to that product and does it work

Great video guys. The underwater footage of that Smallmouth just slurping in that Big Bite Baits Smallie Smasher was amazing. I am just enamored with underwater photography of bass and the way the lures we use actually look like down there.

Will a 4" keitech work well ???

Dropshot is my favorite!

I’ve been getting skunked for months. Yesterday I rigged a drop shot on a flat Robo worm and landed a 1ish pounder. I was fishing so slow I zoned out and got hit. Wacky rigged in the wind just made it have ultimate action underwater

I like the fattyz by z-man for shakey heads and " power" shotting and love to both brand...I'm huge on z-man and finesse

Great video. I tried the smallie smasher this year from your recommendation. Three best smallmouth caught with it were 5.33lbs, 4.67, 4.07. With a lot more over 3.5lbs. It’s now probably my favorite dropshot bait. Thank you for the recommendation

I have not been very successful with DS techniques in our urban jungle creeks but that Strike King KVD dreamshot fished weightless on a no.2 red EWG has gotten me so many fish. Roboworms are a close second.

Thanks for the info! Great as always!

Amazing video! I love watching you guys! Keep up the good work!

The savage gear mirrored type minnows, Nikko sandworms and they have one that's like minnow are great baits i just tried this week. But i have all of these baits you showed and they are great choices. My fav was the dreamshot Damiki armor shad, easy shiner and hazadong shad

Love drop shoting a keitch!

Yes I do like watching your videos or underwater videos about bus in about bass I like your details and you were telling me I should try some of those details next time I go out

Pretty cool that in just three hours there are 33 thousand views and no dislikes. A testament to the quality of the instruction on this channel. Hope you guys are loving Tennessee... Can’t wait to get out of California

I have a video request. I'm mainly a largemouth fisherman myself how ever recently in my area some ponds have been stocked with trout I was wonder if @Tacticalbassin could do a video for trout fishing tips?

Yoto Worm is an absolute killer for dropshot rigging. I had a ton of success on in in late summer last year

Thanks for all the tips Tim...I have a tip for you. When you rig the Armor Shad with the Owner mosquito hook; THREAD it on instead of nose hooking. It gives the bait a great action and you can catch multiple fish on one bait! Hope you try it and it works for you like it does for me. And maybe one day I’ll see it on your next underwater drop shot video.

I love what you guys do but am so happy I still have 2 dropshot baits off the mainstream eye 😄

That Smallie Smasher is no joke..got a dang PB white crappie & PB white bass drop shottin the wat/red in the smaller offering3point somethin..?? Gr8 underh2os' guys!!

The zman finness shadz is another killer

Those Yamamoto shad shape worms are my go too for drop shots.

The flat worm works on lakers too. Caught two of em on drop shot in 20 feet of water. Thought I had a world record smallie lol

Love underwater footage!!

Another one I really love is the missile quiver. 4.5 and either 6 or 6.5. You can drop shot or just Ned rig it and the tail has beautiful action. I've had great success with it and luckily it's been in stock whereas other brands have been difficult to find.

Keitech skinny swing impact is money too

Tim, I have to suggest the Beast Coast Magic Flick for drop shotting when fish are keying in on baitfish. I won the TW Pumpkin Carving Contest on IG last fall and it was sent in my prize pack. The bait has proven to be crucial when targeting pressured fish that are keying on small baitfish or shad. A real difference maker, probably similar in application to the Damiki bait you mentioned in the vid.

Tim you guys should do some tournament videos! It’s a popular genre for other KZfaq personalities. But with your professionalism it would be awesome. Maybe some collaborations with like minded KZfaq channels? Like @YourLakeForkGuide, FishTheMomment, Justin Rackly, Andrew Upshaw and guys like this. Would possibly help the channel grow for you guys without compromising your content type. Been watching you guys from day 1! By far my favorite!

Hey Tim, great video. The dropshot is the way to go, as an up and coming tournament angler I will dropshot all day it just works. Friends of mine call me they one trick pony. Dont get me wrong I throw other baits but I always go back to the dropshot, it just catches fish. The only suggestion I have is, is to mention the angle of the dangle. Meaning, where your bait hangs in relation to the weight and how far you cast. Oh and you can dropshot while bank bustin do it all the time.

thank you Tim!

A YUM Dinger 5" in cranberry red works perfect!

Surprised you didn't mention the Mylar minnow from OSP!

Great insight, thank you. What conditions do you use a teardrop weight vs cylindrical “pencil” type weights?

I’ve never seen anyone else throw a drop shot on a bait caster before seemed to work tho definitely would help on those bigger fish.

Y’all are the greatest fisherman on earth, best videos too

As always, excellent video. Thanks for sharing this video and tips.

I'm a bank angler so I don't get the most out of a drop shot unless I fish off the end of docks. I find a 3 inch keitech swing impact or a flat worm on a nose hooked free-rig ( drop shot teardrop sliding weight with a neko rig hook ) works wonders though. Same basic idea, except I can cast it out a ways, and since I river fish, when it gets out in current, it free floats around and the smallies smash it.

This video gave me warm fuzzies! I fish Minnesota and Wisconsin and I'm a drop shot junky! 🤪

Nice. Thanks Tim.

What are the clips mounted low on the grip you're hooking the drop weights on?

Thank you Matt great content as usual. Have you tried the Poor Boy Erie Darter drop shotting? Looks like another good bait. Robo, Keitech, flukes all great options.

Great information sharing, very much appreciated

Great Video. Question, what is that clip at the bottom of the rod you use to lock in the pencil weight and where can I get one?

Great vid. You covered the Smallie Smasher, the Flat Worm, what about the Bomb Shot. Is there a reason you prefer the others. Thanks.

Another kick A$$ video... Living here in the South Bay area... Robo worm MM3 and Aaron's magic are first class with these lakes in my area.. From the Los Banos Detention damn to Coyote Lake... Keep up the good videos guys...

Great tips. Thank you.

Great video and tips thanks for the help

What type of set up would work w/ a 4in curly tailed roboworm

Hi TIm. Where I can buy the Stopper where you put the dropshot tungsten when you are not using it?? I don't know the name of that piece and I don't find any place where buy it. Thank you dude.

I used the dream shot @ the Wild West bass trail recently. And it draws the bass in

Great tips! What is the drop shot weight keeper you're using? Looks handy.

Hi Tim great video.. any tips on ( the next phase) with the tackle shortage due to the pandemic and a lot of lures rods and reels being on back order what should I stock up on now before it’s hurry up and wait .

Up in Canada the money bait still is the xzone slammer

Keep up the great work guys!

Great footage as usual giysv

Roboworm rules in Cali. Tim please link the dropshot/ hook keeper I need one better than a hair tie or rubberband lol. Great Video! Keep it up 🤙🏼🙏👍🏼

I like the dream shot just because there so readily available. The most common one I see around me anyway.

Your confidence baits aren't everyone's confidence baits. Those are all great option but I defer to z-man trick shotz. Can catch 50 on the same plastic.

This may be a dumb question, but how long of a fluoro leader do you use off of the braid?

The Netbait flex worm is super underrated

What are the drop shot weight keepers on the handle and where on Tacklewarehouse can I find them?

Give keitech custom leach a try.

Hey y’all, love the content. What’s the bait at 0:22 in the video?

Is the only size 1 hook recommend for nose hooking or do you recommend another size as well?

Be cool if you could add OSP Do Live Stick and Xzone Slammers to the list

What size weight would you suggest? Love the videos 👍

What combo do you use for baitcaster drop shot?

What are you using to hold the dropshot weight on your rod? Thanks!!

Nice video! 👍🏽Pink Pond Princess KZfaq Channel Stopped By To Say Hello 👋🏽💖🎣👸

What are the differences when your trying to go for largemouth and spots?

First, with the mic you are using wind noise is no problem. I am getting all notifications, but the bell does not light up or show a count for any body's notification. I always watch.

Fantastic info Tim!!! Thank you so much for all the awesome info!!! I have never caught a fish on a drop shot 😒 this definitely gives me confidence and makes me want to throw it more, until I catch a fish!!! 🎣 Awesome underwater footage 😎👏👌🙌 #1tacticalbassinfan

Try the reaction innovations flirt worm!

Tim, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if you or someone else could help me out. I'm in Connecticut and have a small public water fountain pond that is part of an apartment complex with big spots, painted turtles, and sunfish. I am seeing the spots all over but they aren't biting anything. During the year I've picked them up on rubber worms, and some of the small size whopper poppers but have no idea what they want. I have been sight fishing for them the last few days and they won't touch anything. Any ideas?

Do you nose hook the easy shiner? or texas rig it?

You know i here everyone talk about the larger fish they can catch but what about panfish can dropshot catch those fish with a micro setup

Have you guys tried GrandeBass products?

Please let us know the dropshot knot you tie to the hook, been struggling with that lately.

smallie smasher all day

Hello! Can you do the dropshot technique while your bank fishing? Seems like my fish pole angle is going to be a lot different compared to being in a boat.

Can’t get that Berkley flat worm anywhere. The secret is out!

👍🏻👍🏻
