LEARN HOW TO DROPSHOT! (CATCH MORE FISH) by Fresh Baitz

This high finesse technique was developed in Japan to offset the heavy pressure of most Japanese lakes. Adding a weight to the tag end of your line might seem simple. But, there are a ton of different variations to try out.

Dropshot fishing is normally a light-tackle technique. This means you’ll need a spinning rod, 4-6 pound line, and a 3/16 – 1/4 ounce weight.

A swivel weight at the bottom of the rig will prevent line twist and makes for a better experience.

Since the bait is up off of the bottom and “in their face”, bass are usually moving horizontally to the bottom when they strick, so the bite will give the sensation of having the rod torn out of your hand.

There’s no real way to dropshot incorrectly. But, you must outsmart the fish in order to get more bites. 

Dropshotting can be very useful when fishing in deep water. Just locate the structure, drop the bait directly on top of the fish, and then wait. 

You can also cast to the shore and work the bait back toward the boat. 

If you put your boat on the bank and cast into deeper water then you can work your way up uphill.

Dropshotting over bedding fish works wonders. Some people like to use a heavier setup and flip their bait along deep tulles or even grass beds.
