The tip about the leader length when you're casting/dragging is really great and it's something I didn't consider before. Thanks!

Great tip on running your line back through to get that hook to stand straight out. I’ve always done the palomar knot but never ran the line back through. Awesome bro! Thanks

@DavidMccallister65 2 года назад

If you start with your hook facing downward and run your line through the back of the hook, it'll come out facing upward and you don't have to run the tag back through

I would love to see how you choose between the many dropshot baits available. When do you go for a worm, and what length do you choose? When do you go for the smaller dropshot baits? How do you pair up the hook with the bait? Thanks!

@frankleaney6267 Год назад

I just started to use drop shot last year and instantly caught my pb smallie. Now I try and drop shot every time I go fishing. I even caught two lake trout at 20 feet drop shotting a Berkeley flat worm. Thought I had a world record smallie lol Good way to catch walleye too

@DavidMccallister65 2 года назад

I'm with you 100% about tying your weight on. I never like just pinching the weight on because you lose them too easily. I actually open up the pincher and tie a palomar because it doesn't let your line cinch through when it's closed.

@bradleyrussell1973 10 месяцев назад

I use a Palomar on the hook, but use a 4-wrap Duncan Loop (Stren knot) on my weight. It slips, but takes effort.

@artbuddhakyvastatzel-kelly5635 4 месяца назад

@carriep7812 Год назад

Thanks for the informative video. Regarding different rods for different hooks, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the average person will use a different rod for different hooks. I get that you're a professional, but...

@tennesseetrash9 2 года назад

Is that Googan Drag and Drop a good color for Chickamauga?

@DavidMccallister65 2 года назад

I'm glad that you pointed out that the cylinder weight is not the best choice for anything other than grass. I can't stand them because they get hung up way too much in rocks but I see so many guys only using them and I don't get it. I'm using a teardrop 99.9% of the time.

@funkymojo111 Год назад

I have so many lead tear drop weights from shore clean ups that I finally tried one on a rocky, wind-blown point; much more sensitivity when combined with my 10lb copolymer setup; kinda power shotting light.

@DavidMccallister65 Год назад

@@funkymojo111 and they just don't get hung up as often. Although, I actually prefer lead over tungsten when drop shot fishing because I feel like tungsten gives me too much sensitivity and I don't like it. Then every rock feels like a bite lol

Fishing is tough most times on falls lake nc ,some I'm try new things,who better than to get the drop shot deal from than wheeler,been fishing falls lake since it first started flooding into a lake in a bass boat since 88,thanks Jacob power fishing doesn't work all the time like it did back in the day

@tomc8930 4 месяца назад

I’m a little late to the party but I still have a question, is their anytime you’d put the weight above the hook? I know it sounds crazy but I’ve seen my son do it when he’s drop shot fishing a deep brush pike.

@wvlongshooter3912 2 года назад

How about using a dropper for the bait ? Like a triple surgeon knot with about 6”’s of dropper tag for the bait. Then a line to the weight. Thanks!!

@robertbrost7777 Год назад

What do you think about "nose hooking" the bait by going straight into the middle of the baits nose with the hook point and bringing the point back out roughly 1/2" back and out the top of the bait? It might keep the bait more horizontal in the water. Kind of looks like a swimbait with the hook exposed on top of the bait. Of course, I'm talking about using this nose hook technique when there are very few hangups in the water.

@WheelerFishing Год назад

I really don’t like it that much personally but a lot of people have really good success using it

@brandonwalmsley1863 2 года назад

My question is how do you rig a tube for a drop shot when fishing for smallies?

@jamesshubert6498 Год назад

Drop shot is one of the few techniques that I can fish on in anybody of water any time of year. I even trout fish in small mountain streams with a drop shot

@bradleyrussell1973 10 месяцев назад

I can fish them year round, in all waters, and STILL not catch a damn thing!

@PatrickBailey525 2 года назад

Do you go with the heavier weight for a faster rate of fall or to be able to feel the bottom better and maintain contact?

@maxescamilla4597 2 года назад

That's the power shot. 3/16-3/8oz drop shot weight. Makes it easier to fish faster and still finesse them. Try a leader just longer than the bait. I see people use way too long of a tag line. Hope this helps.

@DavidMccallister65 2 года назад

If you point your hook the opposite direction from what you did when you're running your line through the first time, and then tie a palomar knot the hook will be facing upward every time and you don't have to run your tag end back through to make it point upward. In other words, point your hook down and run the line through the back of it and then tie the palomar knot

@johnlong2498 11 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙏 JW I need some good 2/0 Hubble rig hooks. Can u help me out?? U are the Mann n I wish I could meet u n fish with u!! I’m from Augusta Georgia.

Cause YOU R THE HAMMER 🔨 🎣🙏

@dellsdiy Год назад

i go through so much FC leader with dropshotting because i'm always afraid the Polamar knot is going to break so I retie often, maybe once or twice a day on the water. is that overkill? i was breaking off alot prior but have since focused on not crossing the FC in the knot itself to avoid cutting in.

@camhester4251 Год назад

that's not over kill , i retie ounce or twice also , maybe try using copolymere works great for me in P-Line , also you don't have to tie a palomar try a regular uni use the tag end the same way

@ShreverBeaver 2 года назад

So is this more for vertical fishing, or would you cast and slow drag?

@funkymojo111 Год назад

I use the ball weight for fishing straight down like if I am on a dock or retrieving straight back up. The tear drop for rocky points and dragging with 10lb copolymer. The popular cylinder weight for fishing through grass beds but will lose MOST of my lead cylinder weights when dragging back to shore. When I get to the rocky shallows, I basically have to hop it or reel it back so it won't get snagged.

@bradleyrussell1973 10 месяцев назад

I tie the weight on first, then tie the hook in with a Palomar wherever I want it, starting the knot running through the GAP side of the hook. This puts the hook point up every time. Now, if I could just catch fish on the damn thing!

@stephenearly9550 9 месяцев назад

How do you work your drop shot?

@TheBassinPastor 2 года назад

Alright, I have a question that you might have a solution for with the t-rig drop shot. I notice that it causes a great deal of line twist. How do you solve the line twist issue?

@stuartcarter944 2 года назад

Do you have the line twist coming out of the spool or with the weight-to-hook leader after a hook set? I noticed line twist in the leader after every fish catch when t-rig, but not when I nose hook or wacky rig

@TheBassinPastor 2 года назад

@@stuartcarter944It almost seems as if the drop shot is spinning on the fall, which is causing the leader to twist and, over time, the mainline to twit

@stuartcarter944 2 года назад

@@TheBassinPastor which knot are you using? I always use the Palomar and slide the tag end back through the eyelet of the hook, but then I have to kinda squeeze the knot into the eyelet too so that the hook stands straight out from the side. I wonder what could be going on to cause your twists?

@TheBassinPastor 2 года назад

@@stuartcarter944 That's the same way I tie mine! I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm working on it, lol

@sautterfishing 2 года назад

@@TheBassinPastor it absolutely is spinning as it’s falling. With every drop your getting more line twist. That’s why VMC came out with the spin shot hook. So the hook can rotate 360 degrees. You can also tie a barrel swivel from your braid to leader to allow it to spin and not twist your line. Or you can hook it the way Jacob said when he said under the chin and that helps itself for some reason.
