Dropshot VS. Ned Rig: When To Fish Each Of The ULTIMATE Finesse Techniques

[@MysteryTackleBox]

If you can only pick one finesse technique to use for the rest of your life, what will it be? I've gotta stick with the dropshot

[@TheFishingMommy]

[@84FrankDaTank]

I like them all

[@84FrankDaTank]

It would have to be the Ned rig for me.

[@jameshuffman7676]

The tag end through the eye of the hook trick just totally blew my mind. I always wondered why my drop shots weren't at the right angle!

[@pinkmist3755]

Game changer for sure. More consistency.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

ever thought of tying the hook on the opposite way from the start?

[@TheFishingMommy]

Love finesse fishing and LOVE MATT! Fantastic video & perfect timing. Great info. In my opinion, Matt actually is the best at explaining the what where when and why of all of the MTB “presenters”. He even tells us the knot to use, I mean come on who else is that frickin good.

[@FishingLakeCountry]

Matts the man. Doing bait reviews and how too videos, check it out on FLC.

[@knifeboi5589]

Hey! What about the other kvd?!?

[@bena1549]

Ned is the only thing that has consistently caught me numbers anywhere this year

[@imacaaron]

ive been wondering how to fish these two types. thank you for the great tutorial bro you earned a sub

[@jerrysurratt8510]

I really enjoyed watching you use both the Ned rig and the Drop shot! I learned a lot just from watching just how to fish both!!! Thanks, Jerry Surratt

[@hooks4nooks]

That Alberto knot (braid to leader) is the shit!!! (GOOD!) Also known as the RP knot or Royal Polaris knot. I use it Tuna fishing out of San Diego and Steelhead and Salmon fishing in the NW. That's my #1 knot for braid to mono. You do a great job with your video. Nice work. G

[@lexwaldez]

I have to get better at both of these techniques. This inspires me to try. Thanks much.

[@dinoharrison5138]

Hey Matt, thank you for the explanation and difference of the two baits! MOST informative and good points to know. Appreciate the insight. God Bless Buddy!

[@84FrankDaTank]

This was a very well done video. You got to the points and keep it entertaining. Very good information.

[@KRIMP0FF]

Oh my... What a channel!! 😁 First video on it and I think I am going to like a lot. Many amazing and important details that others channels dont tell. I love this. Thank you.

[@JoeLarge]

Really appreciate you showing how to rig and tie on and details on the presentation. That helps a lot.

[@randyclamhammer]

Great vid !!! Just started fishing Ned rig this year, loving it so far!

[@bks_killaze1770]

Should I start useing one?

[@dinkdynasty]

Great to have you back. Great you tuber. Nice video.

[@hanjerry57]

There’s a rig called the Ned shot that replaces the dropshot weight with a ned rig. 2 hooks, perfectly legal, combines both techniques, targeting both the bottom and the suspending fish. Only issue might be the snaggy nature of the bed rig hook when fishign structure, but otherwise, a great option!

[@lovetogolf4184]

I'm new to both techniques, thanks alot!!! Be safe out there!!

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

Friggin’ awesome video! Matt explains that Barney style! He keeps this type of vid just as interesting as his own fishing vids! Absolutely friggin’ awesome! Thanks for the tips & tricks for sure! And great job Matt!

[@stevelafrate1968]

I hope some of those baits are in this month's MTB because mine just shipped

[@yesdeere1376]

SB fan for life. I would love to hang out and fish someday.

[@AlexanderSagal]

Thank you for the instructional video! Much appreciated.

[@russdennis7026]

I love that Alberto!!!!

[@randyb1927]

The VMC spinshot hook makes drop shot rigging fool proof. No worrying about the hook position and it's easy to adjust the tag end for the weight with respect to length. Just wish they came in red.

[@curtreese1398]

Why not use a ned rig underneath your drop shop bait? instead of a weight?

[@Rawnfella]

I do that, works well. You wouldn’t do it if you’re fishing somewhere where you’re at risk of losing your sinker, like rocks and heavy, heavy weeds. At that point it’s better to tie a knot that’ll slip on your sinker so you can pull your rig free and keep your lure. Also I’m in Australia. 3 hooks per line law; no problem. American might have 1 hook per rod laws.

[@nineinchrails3361]

Rawnfella that’s a genius idea, tying a knot on the weight. I never thunk of that.

[@Rawnfella]

Nine Inch Rails some knots slip easier than others.

[@joeytaylor8767]

Watching from Australia. No bass here, but I like learning new techniques.

[@John-nd7il]

Joey Taylor what type of fresh water fish do you have?

[@joeytaylor8767]

@@John-nd7il the only things I know of nearby where we live are trout from creeks, and marron which are like a fresh water lobster. Saltwater fishing from rocks is what is big around here.

[@craig9108]

Very in-lighting video just wondering about something. I live and fish in East Texas and theres lots of structure on the bottom have you ever tried to fish weedless with the drop shot?

[@FredPecheur]

Super let me Know wich paint you used on bait ? If got link to buy thanks

[@410fishingwithderek4]

Weightless senko wacky rig if that was the only bait I could use for the rest of my life!

I'm really new to fishing. Just wondering what the purpose behind using a different type and test of line for your leader is?

[@youngmoneyoutdoors841]

Great info and tips!

[@woosa42]

But, but, i have 4 lb. line on my ml rod set up for blue gill, crappie, and perch. What do i do? I think i need to get another ml rod. Great tips, thank you.

[@conorkiser5727]

You guys should make a finesse mtb

[@kadenclayton940]

Great video guys!❤💯👌

[@technine07bp]

Good stuff man 👍

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

Now I have an idea about that unused french tickler in the nightstand....after all its kinda already a fishing lure.

[@huntingandmoreoutdoors9665]

This video is the piece of resistance

[@kevinreeeder82]

Nice

[@walkingbucket4796]

Z Man are the only Ned rigs I'll throw 😤

[@Boatflipit]

Max Schaffer Z man trd baits are money the ned heads are absolutely garbage

[@walkingbucket4796]

Brett Barr I have never once had a problem with their jigheads but that's just me. The finesse shroom is perfect for the trd in my opinion and the power and mag shroomz are money for me as well with my bigger plastics

[@BrandonBReelKillerFishn]

@@walkingbucket4796 I've had the head literally come off of Ned but baits are 💣💣💣

[@BrandonBReelKillerFishn]

I think the heads are as crap as the hardhat ones that MTB and Googans sell ,way to much for so little

[@totalannihilation9065]

I got 5 different colors last week and the first bag I opened caught at least 8. A single Z Man plastic bait. Great bait.

[@BL_Denni]

How come you don't mount the trolling motor off the front ?

[@Flyfisher79]

Just getting into finesse fishing. I noticed many people rig with bright colored braid. Is that a must or can I use any color?

[@robertcole7874]

Since when did you need to do a semester of college to rig up a pole for fishing? I run 15# powerpro braided with no leader and catch bass all the time.

[@masonj1484]

They always smack the sukoshi bug for me!!!!

[@backyardfishin454]

Ever tried tying both on at the same time?

[@jrgarza87]

I wanna catch fish like that in August BUT I can only fish off the bank where it is shallow in most places i go

[@Grogers70426]

I'm in the same situation, I usually fish small ponds that vary from 5 to 12 feet. The main one I hit up is 6' max and it doesn't have much on the bottom for em to hang to expect maybe a stick or two but I haven't had any luck with dropshot or ned rig in the few ponds I've tried em in

[@jrgarza87]

Geoffrey Rogers I cant find small ponds in Lexington NC because ponds are on people properties

[@Grogers70426]

One of the ponds I fish is a friend of the family but the other ones I actually asked the owner if I could fish the pond and I let em know that I'll pick up my trash and that I catch and release. Several ppl did say no but 5 or 6 actually let me fish. I do understand why most ppl don't let ppl fish on their property bc ppl have probably left empty bait packs, several feet of line, and other trash or even worse is the ppl who want to sue bc they stepped in a hole that they probably saw and figured they could get some money. I'm not gonna sue even if I do get hurt

[@Mooseboy240]

8:55 what are you spraying on it?

[@donnysbackroadoutdoors5088]

What size is the boat you are on length and width if you don't mind me asking?

[@CHUNKSTV]

Hiya what was the spray you used for the lure ?? Thanks in advance

[@brigidocampuzano6432]

What's the spray substance that was applied?

[@jamesamaro]

Crazy as it is never tryed either

[@zandercostanza]

I’ve also got a video on my channel about some other tips you could try with drop shotting. Also do seven wraps on the Alberto not five.

[@BlairStOnge]

Where did you fish in Rhode Island?

[@motoman3290]

Love the Ned rig but don’t like the fact that most off the time they get it deep before you detect the bit especially in deep water .

[@el_bandolero8055]

When he called the ned rig a drop shot like 20million times lol

Do you have a timestamp for when he does it? He only used a ned rig for the last 4 minutes or so of the vid and I didnt hear him call it a dropshot once.

I noticed that to. But he’s also saying “Ned rig” & “drop shot” so much that it’d be impressive if he didn’t get em mixed up once or twice. Lol

He also said “to go along with that drop shot” when showing Ned rig baits at 1:30

only baits i use🤫

[@millersbaits8819]

Nice but kind of slow for me but anyway 👍💯

Why use an expensive designer drop shot weight ? A CHEAP removable 1/4 oz split shot weight works just a good and it doesn't snag up as often.

Am i the only one who combines them and uses the ned rig as my weight on the drop shot

Why not combine ned and drop shot rig you waist less time to find out how fish are feeding.

can you drop a tub

My only issue is it's much less stress on the fish when you pick it up out of the water than forcefully flopping on you boats deck. Think about the fish! Without them you have no followers!
