I don't do much dropshotting, but this was a very enjoyable session. As a disclaimer you will get bitten off by pike on 6lb fluro. Just don't want anyone misinterpreting what i said at the beginning of the video. It just offered slightly more protection than the 2lb i was thinking of using. Tight lines guys!
@makeorwellfictionagain35533 жыл бұрын
To be fair I use seaguar ace hard in 9lb and not suffered a bite off yet. Not saying it doesn’t happen but it’s better than most think.
@RuachEden3 жыл бұрын
You can tie heavier weighted fluro to a lighter braid! It's no problem if you know how to use your drag. I often use 6lb braid to a 10lb+ fluoro leader

I would like to thank you, your enthusiasm and catches on micro lure made me invest, having a similar canal here. Fished and not done too great getting used to it. But today you sat on my shoulders several perch and then a PB chub, it was immense as was the fight and getting it into a net far too small. I'd guess over 7lb, so thanks mate!
@gez19723 жыл бұрын
You need to be so careful when using micro sized lures as anything will take them, I was jigging on the grand union canal and had a 20lb carp on one!!! Took me an hour to get it to the net on ultra light perch gear.

Great video but that net coupled with the elastic is so painful to watch. Just get an extending bank stick with a flip latch and a regular net head so you can quickly make it longer if needed. That net is designed for people wading or sat in kayaks and as this video illustrates is very inconvenient for bank fishing.

Drop shot came from how it looks like a brop of water 💧 with lead the center drill out for brass wire is in the center. Too put the bait suspend in the water. My grandfather told me to do for trout fishing 🎣 in lake's from the bank or shore line however you say it. For just bait like doe balls, worm 🪱 and cut baits. Like the drop 💧 shot the best and there's many copies because of how good it is. Ho made it 🤔💬 don't know.
