Drop Shotting Swimbaits | What it Looks Like

Professional bass angler Chris Zaldain has coined drop shot fishing finesse swimbaits as drop swimming, and as the name implies, it combines the depth control attributes of drop shotting with the swimming action of paddle tail swimbaits. We give you a detailed view of this overlooked pairing, which relies on thin-tailed paddle tail swimbaits. A soft and subtle tail section is required so the bait engages in a natural swimming motion at slow retrieve speeds or even when worked at a standstill. See Zaldain's full-length drop swimming tutorial ( • Why You Need to Drop S... ).
This system presents bass and other gamefish an ultra-realistic minnow profile near the bottom where they're more conditioned to finesse worms and fluke-style baits. A slow and steady retrieve keeps a finesse swimbait pinned near the bottom better than a jighead while working the bait in place yields a seductive struggling action. The Wired2Fish staff has experienced excellent results with both thanks to Chris sharing his secrets (goo.gl/aNNy7x).

Dropshotting swimbaits is deadly, I broke my PB at Clear Lake dropshotting a 3" Spark Shad earlier this year.

[@bassinbilliards6279]

My friend also broke his pb at 8.66 on a Dropshot on CL this year. Although my biggest has been on a Swimbait.

[@FollowPharaoh]

It’s crazy you can catch a dink or a tank on the 3in swimbait using dropshot

[@jonstevens802]

Cool video as usual. Great to see the lure in action.

[@mjk934]

Drop swimming , great technique 👌

[@joeblowjohnny2297]

It moves really good ! Problem is , with the weight in the front . You will miss out on some lite tap or delay on not so agressive bite because the tug signal sometimes stop at the sinker .

[@erikvalle4365]

Is this as effective if i Texas rigged it? A lot of spots in my area have weeds

[@wolfewiz]

Heavy current messes up the action but in calm water it’s great.

[@Mac1o24]

The last retrieve looked really good! Looked like he was stroking it like a jig?

[@enricograsso5983]

Yes very light jigging works wonderfully

[@tg3fishing59]

Awesome video! These little dudes are so effective!

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks man, yes, they are a thing of beauty on the drop shot!

[@Lm701]

Effective for crappie from shore?

[@064pointbreak]

Cut the oscillating bit on the Hazedong shad and add a slit to make a minnow.

[@jrdefield7481]

Does that look lifelike or what? No weight, huh? Just lip hooked bait. Awesome!

[@LeeRiverGuy]

Weight is on the end of leader.. No tsure I'd use that weight there rod weight would work better IMO.. Great video

[@ianstiehl1994]

I love doing this in creeks

[@BassGeek]

Very niiiiice.

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

Wow nice !

[@razorbackreb]
