How to catch PERCH on DROPSHOT in cold water?

[@davefave4351]

Thank you Andrew. As always, an entertaining and informative video. I can see a lot of thought has gone into your methods and tactics - great watercraft! Tight lines my man...

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks for a kind word 👌

[@rossmcleod7983]

I must revisit dropshotting. Haven’t had a great deal of success to date, but inspired to give it another whirl. Nice relaxing production too Andrew. Stay safe mate.

[@AndrewsKnots]

You should! Can be super fun 👌 Stay safe.

[@flybyphil1361]

Enjoyed that 1 Andy.some nice bulldogs on a really cold day my friend 🎣🐶🐝

[@AndrewsKnots]

Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe.

Glad it was helpful!

[@andriusssswolf]

Interesting as always. Well filmed video from a good angle. Seems like I was at the river together! :)

[@AndrewsKnots]

Glad you enjoyed it, Andrius. We will do it togethet one day once again!

[@225kk]

I think I fish same river as you. In Newark yes? I love your content keep it up😁 maybe I can see you there sometime I go here with my father on Sundays

[@AndrewsKnots]

Yes, I know, where Newark is. Thanks.

[@TheSpringerman]

Another fantastic informative video.What make are those gloves pleaseI suffer very much from the cold weather.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks. There was a video about some of items of clothing I use including these gloves kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKqsi2ykYreHnpI

Hello Andrew, nice video I found your channel a week ago and like it nice videos and tutorials also thanks for sharing your links for the stuff you are using, do you also got a link for the tackle box and gloves you are using in this video from Ali?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Welcome aboard! Gloves link was added to the video description. Box used is Korda Tackle safe (or NGT) and they do not exist on Ali yet to my knowledge.

[@quanloikid1]

fun video, thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Andrew, what’s that little cone shaped sleeve you slide over your sinker called? I don’t think I’ve seen them here in the U.S., but I can definitely see it’s use and advantages.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Carp rig sleeve.

[@HATINTHEKAT]

@@AndrewsKnots thanks!

[@stuartday3232]

Really enjoyed that. Really good camera angles you could actually see the takes indications on the tip. Can I ask what is your preferred DS hook?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks. Hook size/pattern depends on the lure size/shape. 👌

[@paulgiannetto8377]

Hi Andrew. Nice and very useful. I've received my Kuying Ultralight ordered after watching your your films. Can you tell me the make and strength of braid you are using. Best wishes for a great and safe New Year

[@AndrewsKnots]

Hi, Try this PE0.2 bit.ly/3bwkg8X

[@paulgiannetto8377]

@@AndrewsKnots Thank you. Ordered 3 spools of the green 0.2. Seem to have a sale as only £3.33 per spool with no shipping charge. Also ordered some of the soft plastic in the PA16. Just for information the J-braid x8 Grande uses a fibre that Daiwa state is 4x more abrasion resistant. The thinnest has a stated bs of 11lbs and a stated diameter of 0.06mm (I checked with a micrometer and found it did measure 0.06mm). But it is 3 times the price of the Kingdom. If you ever down in the West Country let me know as I have a few SUL and UL rods as yet untested including the JDM Abu Eradicator, Loomis GL2 U/L and a Leland TCB with a true rating of 1/64 - 1/8 oz. rating. Again thanks for your help as tested knowledge is invaluable.

[@AndrewsKnots]

@@paulgiannetto8377 FYI, thinnest Daiwa X-braid or Grand stated at 0.06 mm. is not true.. It says also on the label PE0.6 which is true. If you would look for conversions tables you will see that PE0.6 is about 0.12 mm. which I agree with that thinnest Daiwa (stated 0.06 mm.) is. This thinnest Kingdom PE0.2 is much thinner than that Daiwa 0.06 mm..

[@paulgiannetto8377]

@@AndrewsKnots Much appreciate your information and look forward to comparing the Kingdom PE 0.2 braid. I've just checked my grand and it does state pe 0.6. What throws me is that if I set my micrometer to 0.06mm the grand easily enters and then slides easily up and down between the jaws. Go figure? The braid selection thing has been throwing me for a while.

[@buckrichard7690]

Hi Andrew. Another fantastic video. I hope you don’t mind me asking, what make are the gloves you were wearing?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Hi, Thanks. Please check video description for the gloves. 👌

[@1dowsey]

What size hook were you using Andy

[@AndrewsKnots]

If I remember correctly, it was 10 or 12 Aberdeen-type.

[@1dowsey]

@@AndrewsKnots thanks for replying

[@sme70]

Might have another go at dropshot . I noticed the link to the lure you was using but what colour number would you recommend.?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Most colors are very good. PA-16 was used in this video 👌

[@sme70]

@@AndrewsKnots thanks

[@buckrichard7690]

At the moment, grab whatever you can find!

[@RoundHeadPolice]

I've blanked loads recently so this is helping me to keep faith! I noticed the 'socks' you had on your rod. These look so much easier than tying the rig on the bank. Do you have a non-Ali link for these?

[@AndrewsKnots]

This is what I use www.ngtdirect.co.uk/product-page/tip-butt-protector-for-made-up-rods-184

[@loganpaul3374]

Hi Andrew, enjoy video, I can't fish at moment in ROI, 5km loc down, hopefully soon, enjoy, what part of Europe are you?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Hi, You should move closer to the water. I fish in the UK 👌

[@Pescapesca8]

Hi sir For a Shad 5/7cm what size of hook I need to use? Thanks

[@AndrewsKnots]

Golden rule is: half length of the lure.

[@antonybanks9865]

What is the 1st creature bait you used, the golden one?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Some from Aliexpress.

[@richardbarrett4104]

I notice how near the weight you have the lure? I'm sure because I have mine about 30 cm its why I'm not catching much on my trips Andrew.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Welcome!

[@danfishing5120]

Can you fish dropshot all year round

[@AndrewsKnots]

You can.

Sveikas, esu upelių džiungliu keliautojas, būtu galimybe pamatyti žiemimę upėtakių žūklę? Visi vidio pamokantys, suradęs anglišką kanala atradau išsamesnes upėtakiu žuklės taktikas, nors šį pirmajį upėtakiu sezona išmokau visus esminius dalykus nueidamas 40km upeliais, bet vistiek turėjai ka papildyti. Dėkui už pastangas, žuvingų naujųjų metų. If some people want to know what i said i am just talking about trout and amazing vidios he does!

[@AndrewsKnots]

Will consider it. Thanks.

I can't get into dropshot fishing it bores me to death i have tried but it's not for me,para

[@AndrewsKnots]

Everyone to it's own. I like dropshot fishing - very fun and effective. 👌

[@loganpaul3374]

Stick with it, give it one season, it will pay off I was same.
