GO REDS!

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

YES! This might be the first comment I’ve ever gotten that’s positive about the Reds. I catch so much flack living in St. Louis. 🤣

[@the420xtc]

@@ShowMetheHawgs lol Yikes that's a rough place to be a Reds fan.

Bro... I LOVE the TANGO Rod! I've got one & it's one of my Faves. GREAT Video! New Sub from Indiana.

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

Thanks! Great rod and surprisingly inexpensive for how well it performs, and hail from Indiana! Thats my birth state.

[@pepawg2281]

I run a double drop shot with shads on top and NRV Creek Daddies on the bottom

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

Interesting…

[@brox2098]

So basically a Palomar knot but use the tag. I love it

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

That’s basically it

[@chazbennett8676]

Great way to target fish at depth.

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

Absolutely

Can you fish this in shallow water?

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

Yes. The second half of the video I was fishing in 1-2 feet of water.

[@walden6272]

What size is that hook?

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

It’s s 1/64oz jig head

[@walden6272]

@@ShowMetheHawgs jig head???? looks like a regular hook to me.

Why do you think that a drop shot rig is better than using a slip cork?

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

I wouldn’t say it’s better. Maybe in some situations like if the fish are in deeper water. Still, a slip cork will work just as well in similar situations. In fact, I’d use a slip float more often for bluegill and crappie. Adjusting the depth is a possibility and it can be cast farther.
