Most Common Dropshot Mistakes | Fishing Tips 101

[@volemc232]

Went out,used all your recommendations, had the best day of bass fishing I’ve ever had, and placed 7th in my first ever fishing tournament. You da man B. Lat

[@atg3rocks729]

Niiiiiice

[@ARCSTREAMS]

were there only 7 ppl in the tournament?

[@dymitrsobczak]

Within 5 minutes you became my new favourite pro angler. Thank you for down to Earth, no show off explanation. Respect ✊🏾

[@davidarwood6264]

He's very likable and understandable. I think he's my favorite modern day bass fisherman.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I'm old. I like a normal person. There's another young guy on KZbin, I don't know the words he's saying. Brian is great.

[@FavianShields]

I love when fishing videos get to the point and start with actual advice.

[@billhurst178]

I don’t think anyone explains things as well as Brian. Love his vids. He explained things so I would understand it.

[@Spectre.Fishing]

How lucky was I? I was just looking for drop shot guides today and wished my favorite fishing channel had a recent one.

[@larrybradshaw4868]

This is absolutely the best drop shot tutorial I've seen! You rocked this man!

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

As usual - New favorite and I done been around YT 🎣vids

[@ejpittak]

What we need on KZbin. Simple down to earth fishing tutorials. Thanks BLat.

[@tomhh103]

I just can't figure out why anyone would thumbs down this wealth of knowledge from B-Lat. Thanks for the tips brother.

[@Bass_attack7755]

KZbin adds fake dislikes.

[@budrome4247]

I blame bots. And idiots running bots.

[@tannerculver5315]

Your knowledge and detailed descriptions are second to none Appreciate ya man 👍🏽

[@albergo5719]

Brian is a great teacher that is straightforward, clear, without waste. Thanks so much for sharing and teaching.

[@glxbe]

Hey Brian - awesome tips, I feel like I've watched most of your videos in just the last couple weeks. One thing I'd like to see more of is you showing us how to actually fish the rigs you're showing us. You show how to rig it up and what combos to use and then I get out on the water and realize I'm missing something

[@jboogie_5713]

I’m just getting into bass fishing and thank you so much for explaining the drop shot the way you did. Now I know I was using too heavy of weights.

[@aarondavis8224]

I hated drop shoting for a long time but this year I decided to learn this technique better. I have landed so many fish this year drop shoting even in severe conditions. It has slowly become my favorite technique because I can catch fish in horrible conditions. I use roboworms but the yamamoto shad shape worms have been doing work also. im going to try the Zman stuff and see if I go through less baits.

[@phoenixw2w]

I always have all 3 roboworm, yamamoto and zman in the boat!

[@jonreimer440]

Most informative drop shot video I’ve watched. This is going to be my rookie year with drop shot application and I’m thankful you made this video.

[@mikehigh4321]

On another note I have purchased pretty much all the favorite rods and that was because of watching you bro and I know my opinion doesn’t matter. I truly feel they owe you your own rod selection man the knowledge you put in your video’s about rods that you use and why and when to use them wow! It’s only right bro Favorite rods owe you your on select of rods bro can’t wait to see them on the market 🤞🏾# vote for the BLAT signature series rods. You would definitely have my vote👊🏾 Keep up the good work man👍🏾

[@BeyondHeadwaters]

Without a doubt, this is one of the best fishing KZbin channels. Thank you for all you do and for sharing a wealth of information.

[@vivalabad6]

Me: Buys a $20 realistic looking crankbait The fish: I'd like a 25 cent stick of rubber please

[@MrRourk]

Don't feel bad about 10 years ago was fly fishing in New Mexico and these guys came over from Poland. At first they used all kinds of fancy nymphs and then they discovered the plain shiny red hook. Yup just a plain flashy red hook is all you need in that fast moving muddy water.

[@vivalabad6]

@@MrRourk Lol! I've caught a few on a plain, gold hook before even!

[@sparky6086]

Gotta say; I checked out a lot of videos to learn about fishing a drop shot. This one is by far the best. ...Brian just got a new subscriber!

[@WolfMcPenguinsen]

How were you not already subbed!?!

[@marksmith813]

Because of your previous videos, I started using dropshots and ned rigs for Florida Largemouth in the winter and it works great! Once I started using a medium spinner with 8lb fluro I caught even more. Thank you for your help!

[@WhyteKong]

I lost it at "that thang will last as long as them mcdonalds fries that your kid dropped underneath your car seat" 🤣🤝

[@jimboyko2854]

Such an honest presentation by a well spoken man . Keep up the great work. Just loved it .

[@cpk2GIRL]

The Owner circle hooks have been the bomb for drop shotting for us from the banks even, from #4 to 1-0 sizes on 6 lb fluorocarbon rig w/ Nightcrawlers or Shrimps for bluegill, catfish, & spotted bass.

[@thebeardedstork432]

Great tips Brian! Thanks!It is cold and snowy here in the Great White North and this video warmed my heart!

[@kqc8224]

Just bumped into your video. Perfect timing. Exactly everything I needed to know, as I don’t know anything about drop shotting. I can’t wait to outfish my buddy when we go next time! Great content and simple. I love it. I SUV’s, liked and saved this video. Thank you so much!

[@spinnerbait3094]

Another great video B Lat. You really know how to “ teach " on subjects. You keep things interesting and from what I can tell accurate. If you have any class time like you did last yr. Or early this yr I would be interested. Good luck Brian

[@joeyb3102]

If you ever stop fishing tournaments you could easily make more money teaching. You may have a gift for fishing but you are a truly gifted teacher. Thank you

[@seiglerd]

What’s up Brian? I’ve never fished a dropshot rig before, but now that I been schooled by B.Lat I’m gonna give it a shot and see what happens! Thanks for taking the time to teach everyone your techniques!

[@paullandenberger3437]

Hands down best drop shot video I’ve seen

[@davidosband862]

Thank you, Sir! One of the absolute finest fishing videos I've seen - and I'm 65. Moving to Florida; hopefully soon, and will remember your teachings. Pardon me while I subscribe. R//David

[@davidfelton3084]

Good video Brian. I've just gotten into using the drop shot. I was surprised by your choice of a Med-Heavy rod for finesse application though. I always thought and have heard other recommendations for lighter rod power to match up w/ lighter lines/hooks.

[@stevesigler5241]

He said that his pole has nice action on the end to make up for the fish making a run. I myself use a medium lite pole 7’2”.

[@orvalstuckemeyer127]

Brian you are such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

[@slabslayer258]

When a man who loves what he does he will teach with passion great lesson mr. B lat a lot of guys can fish or build a house or any other trade but they can’t teach or just don’t have the patience to explain an explain to simplify it great work sir

[@bassinbilliards6279]

I've lost more shakers on a size 2 than anything. Once I went to a true size 1 or 1/0 my hook up ratio went through the roof. Another thing I don't like is lack of barb on most finesse hooks.

[@bassman6692]

First video of yours I’ve watched. Immediately subbed! Great explanation and detail.

[@agiantcub8it542]

2:42 love it!!! My favorite bass fishing channel. Hell if you saltwater fished you’d be my favorite there too. Shoot if you went noodling I’d go somewhere to figure that out too!!

[@rogerbranham5083]

This is the first time coming across one of your videos and it was great, good information, explained in easy simple terms. I don't subscribe to many presenters but I did you. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@dinkfishing7135]

Brian, Dude I absolutely love all your content. I am a BPT official, wish you were with MLF and the tour. I would love to be in the boat with you. Watched your content for many yrs. I just started drop shot fishing, Just didn't like the finesse part. I now love it since I started fishing the boat side of the Phoenix series. You helped tremendously.. Thank you, good luck and continued success.. Curt

[@markdavies8037]

Love this video. Made things very simple. Like all the best things are. Thankyou.

[@fredbo6001]

This is a great video and great teaching. Thank you so much for making it simple.

[@willperryman4559]

Well, you gave up secrets 😂😂 I love ZMAN floating worm and streakz on drop shot. Best Success the rest of this season🎣

[@willanderson1983]

I like the conversational style of your content. So many creators are doing these speech style heavily planned out storyboarded non-sense. All we wanna know is what you're catchin em on.

[@worgoose]

One of your best videos. I’ve watched it three time and saved it for reference

[@soldierofdirt81]

I definitely like my Gamakatsu drop shot swivels, with a 2/0 octopus hook. Works well and definitely love the nose hook. Will also use the Decoy HD 2/0 ewg to Texas rig the bait, strictly for grassy areas.

[@michaelbyrne8860]

Great information & video, I love finesse fishing with light lines and sharp thin wire hooks. I started fishing slider worms in Maryland on 4 & 6lb lines, didn't know about fluorocarbon leader in the 80's? But still caught a bunch of bass in the C&O and the Potomac River! Funny thing is? It was my wife that bought the 3 pack of slider worms with one 1/8 oz lead head and the Charlie Brewer paper back book! And I would be gone for hours & hours fishing with my dog Rudy! She seemed to be happier with me and the dog not hanging in the Apartment all the time! Hmm? Oh I learned a great way of fishing before wacky, drop shoting or ned fishing! Diana & the Supreme's could put it down, the Temps were better! James Brown was the undisputed KING of the steps and John Mellencamp could lay it down! Not bad for a white boy! CMTFU! Watch you fish the tour in Florida? People were all over you but you were the only one catching fish! Drop shoting into the burls and pulling bass out on! I thought you were gonna win the tournament! It was an exciting watch! Cloud 9 You can be what you wanna be (cloud nine) You ain't got no responsibility (cloud nine) Every man in his mind is free (cloud nine) You're a million miles from reality (cloud nine) You can be what you wanna be

[@lilmockme8821]

Thank you a million, helped me immensely.. solved questions I wondered about rigs... thank you...

[@JoseValenzuela-es9db]

very well said, direct to the point, lots of points covered. Subscribed.

[@mikewheeler3449]

Thank you for the information. Trying to get back into bass fishing. More insight on that style of fishing.

[@Joestacemazjojo]

All very well explained. Will check out the shop as well as more videos

[@rickeybell5700]

Just installed the lowrance live target & we'll be drop shotting a lot now. Thanks for the great advice.

[@jigheadoutdoors]

Great Video! My son is going to start fishing tournaments and this will be extremely helpful!

[@robertluckadoo5940]

Great video! Breath of fresh air. Simple, honest and to the point….new subscriber here now!

[@clubcool3583]

Great video, I appreciate your work. Good luck on MLF this year

[@jooky5]

Trd also works well if you cut it at an angle about 1/8” from the end. It leaves you with two baits that have an undulating action when you nose hook them

[@slaytimefishing]

Very well explained. Great Brian!

[@travisarcher5101]

That was a smooth video man! I like all the transitions and pop ups, and good information!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Thanks my guy

[@jimday9720]

Latimer is one of my favorite anglers, always willing to give advice to us novice fisherman

[@CaseyHarrisSr]

Thank you Brian for creating this video share and using for using easy to understand terms. Some creators use too much specialty slang that causes me to stop the video so as to look up what they are saying. Thank you for planning out your script for a natural flow. By chance were you in the military? Have a terrific week, Casey

[@lancehenthorn17]

B-LAT good timing for me. Sat and Sun I had no luck on Guntersville when using my Ned rigs. I was thinking after the fact i needed to give the drop shot a whirl. I think this confirms that thought. Lol! Enjoying the videos. I've been seriously looking in to A Crestliner boat for about 6 months or more. It seems you're happy with yours. Please let us know if you come across any issues with it or dislikes. Your inputs on it would be helpful. I trust your opinion. Thanks. Tight lines.

[@emanuelaguiar6481]

Thanks man, one of the best videos out there.

[@matred3538]

Many thanks for the help. Great video. I'm about to downsize my dropshot rig! 👍

[@zachkerr6256]

The best tutorial bud i have ever watched. Just subbed!

[@brianlee9074]

Great video B. Important information for all. My DS setup is similar to what you said. #2 owner mosquito light wire hook, 1/4 ounce sinker. I use that set up on ultralight rod/reel and 4 lb mono. Works great here at the lakes I fish in Oregon. My bait is primarily the Big Bite Baits Smallie Smasher in the Chick Magnet color. Thanks B

[@collinmc90]

Watched only about three of your videos and I think you have already solved all the problems I was having. Everybody told me oh just use a senko... well thats a simple enough answer but how, when, where, why? I was using it in all the wrong places in all the wrong ways hahaha (sounds like my love life hahaha).

[@pscheung206]

Love your videos! Can you share tips on keeping the drop shot rig tidy when you're stowing that rod?

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Rubber band or a hair tie at the end of your rod

[@markbrown-gy3fz]

THANKS MAN.VERY WELL SPOKEN DROP SHOT GUIDE. NEVER THOUGHT OF USING 2 POUND LINE FOR THE WEIGHT. MAKES PERFECT SENSE. DONT MIND LOSING A WEIGHT,BUT A ROMAN MADE WORM??? FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!

Spot on! Drop shotting small strike king coffee tubes has been really deadly for me as well as Sculpin plastics!

[@gavinbutler4054]

What colors work best for you? I picked up some white/blue and black/tubes and I can’t wait for the water to warm up some!

[@swivels]

@@gavinbutler4054 the brown coffee one i mentioned as well as the classic green pumpkin

Awesome tips, thanks Brian.

[@shanehall4232]

Thank you sir for the great information....I keep being told out here in AZ to use drop shot...but I haven't done so yet cause the water hasn't seemed clear enough to me....but then again I am a beginner bass angler...so not 100% what people see clear as....so many different opinions

[@12ernie]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@aaronhooper1551]

Thank Brian like your style of drop shot.. Very informative

[@richardmajewski4104]

Awesome video. I learned so much about how to rig them in different ways. Thanks so much.

[@caseyreel6152]

Just discovered you. Awesome insightful information. Simple and to the point. Have a friend here in California who owns a tackle shop. He has his own brand of fish attractant. He says the same thing when he hooks up a nightcrawler and dips it in sauce. " Soak it real good until it does the Watusi." I split a gut when you said, " make it do the James Brown." Great video, will be watching from now on.

[@WhereWeWild]

Great video man.

[@michaelrodriguez2973]

B Lat thanks for the gold nuggets of knowledge they go great with car seat French fries 🤣 serious question, if I use a longer stick bait/senko can I cut it down to TRD/finesse worm sizes without sacrificing action?

[@MikeJones-jf7lx]

Wow great video, I learned a lot! Thank you so much...
