Are You Fishing A DROP SHOT Wrong?? Try THESE Proven Retrieves!!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

The dropshot has recently proved its value for me. I use only floating plastics now for it because as a bank angler I can’t afford to snag all the time. Plus it allows me to slow down my presentation and really get some bites. Now just need to get the ned rig rolling a little more.

Miles, I find myself watching your videos more and more as they relate to what I do at my lake. As for the drop shot, I usually do drag the worm to make it swim horizontally but, there are times I will actually "stroke" the worm and that draws a reaction bite! Sometimes I end up stroking it because the bait or weight have become hung up but, other times I'm doing it to draw a reaction from curious fish. I'm a firm believer that most times the fish aren't aggressive and you must draw a reaction. I see people catch nothing all day while I'm having success because I'm drawing reactions and they aren't. Good stuff. I look forward to the next one.

Great info, thanks!

Great info. Just learning the drop shot, this video gives a great starting point.

Just started fiddling with a drop shot, and this past Sunday made me a believer. Fished it over submerged grass and caught them well. Largest was 5.9#. I’m looking forward to experimenting with it more here in central Florida. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Miles. ✌️

[@edwardwicht5271]

Totally agree. For me, it’s about having the confidence to do less. A lot of people make their bait look like it’s having a seizure. That can work, but usually not as good as letting the weight on the bottom impart 90% of the action.

Thanks for the video. Any other specific drop shot tips for us bank anglers?

[@rickvann3489]

Don't drag for smallies in goby areas. You want the bait on the rocks so rod tip down low

High sticking is the worst way to fish a drop shot.

You didn’t catch nothing

And underwater footage is where it's at too.
