RIP Arron you will be missed.

[@LakeForkGuy]

I remember fishing that tournament! Me and Aaron and Mark were fishing deep humps for spotted bass. I caught mine dropping a spoon though

[@fish4kbcf]

LakeForkGuy haha great to find a forgotten comment from you before your channel blew up. Met you at the Grand Classic a couples years back. Super happy to see how you’ve grown your channel. You deserve every bit of it man.

[@AdventureEncounters]

[@BNOOutdoors]

Great information and amazing short intro loved it!

[@Wissahickonwild]

Awesome tips broseph. Aaron's magic red and black flake. Freakin killer color.

[@Fishingallday31]

Talk about knowing your trade....great video.

[@Commandodesigns]

awesome...

[@KFieLdGaming]

I use the gamakatsu split shot #1 hooks too, I just wish the eye of the hook was a tad bit bigger... but overall a great hook, and I do the same thing.. I bend the hook point upwards a tiny bit. I believe Gamakatsu came out with an Aaron Martens version of this hook that comes bent upwards from factory now.

[@hunterguy4630]

Yea I had problems with the polamor knot slipping around the hook eye but never thought of using the uni knot , I use it for jigs and stuff but will definelty try that knot on the drop shot

[@v8consumption]

wow the best knot is palomer and works great for dropshot to. I would never use this knot

[@kcbroncohater]

Thanks for the videos, I enjoy them. I know this has nothing to do with fishing but what did you do to smash you left thumb? Haha, I smashed mine a few weeks ago it taking forever for the nail to grow out to get rid of the blood. And don't tell me it was because of the g force of your hook sets.

kcalwyas forever

[@bobtome9875]

Hey hes the ELITE PRO here i say he ties whatever knot he wants, KVD ties a Palomar, Amart ties a uni. And A Mart has Kvd when it comes to a drop shot and a shakey head, hes a god at those techniques, kevins just ya know, kevin. One of the best overall bass anglers to ever pick up a rod. Rick Clunn and him are on a plane all their own.

[@johnhill7716]

When was clunns last win ?

[@gojoe36]

Is this video shot at the Bass Pro in Concord, NC

[@Lagriffin712]

Sick that you got to fish with these guys

[@jyankeesrock]

@chengsterboi07 for braid and mono i always tie a palomar. for fluorocarbon, which aaron is using in this video i use his knot. palomar knots break very easily on fluorocarbon.

[@funtopunch]

A high quality, high strain fluorocarbon tied with a palomar will break under noticeably less tensile duress than with the uni. This has been derived from testing with tensile resiliency machines time and time again. If you are using a quality fluorocarbon, it'll probably hold up with the palomar. It will, however, hold under far more stress via a uni. The knot-retention performance between these two knots is amplified with the use of purer fluorocarbons thanks to their inherent hardness.

[@smcewen7]

I bend my treble hook sideways on my crank baits, increases your hook rate big time.

[@NasalObstruction]

Why not go up one size?

[@JS-te4gz]

I though a #1 w as the best all.round hook for dropshotting bass..no?

[@Basshunter186]

why not just tell gamagatsu to make a aaron martins drop shot hook? so theres no guessing on the bending

[@justinpeters9950]

LMAO never had a prob with the Palomar knot with a dropshot I use 8 lb fluorocarbon but I've broke fish off with this uni knot and seen Aron martens break off before

[@The72challenger]

amurika...fck yea...time for some nascoar and banjos!

[@TheGrowninja]

I never use those drop shot hooks. Ever since I had a gamakatsu break when i had a big fish on iv never went back to them.

[@danielgomes-ur3rm]

How did the hook break did u set the hook to hard or something what rod action and what lb test line where u using

[@keith121283]

The palomar knot not working with flouro is a total fallacy. It is the only knot I use with it, when tied correctly it is all you need for flouro. I have tested it a lot with a scale, do the same and you will see it retains 90% + strength with flouro. Here's a good refresher watch?v=L4lGUK_12Uo

[@boognish.]

Goat 🐐

[@BASS365]

Fact!

[@thegamingfamily2936]

Dang you fishin for blue hill with that hook ?

[@dansaldana3450]

MM3 is awesome

[@jjimene3]

Lol noticed Boyd duckett in the back

[@motombocolombo]

dunno the english name for this knot, but the the knot displayed in this video, "dropshot auf barsch" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH63o4OGhbqjbNE&feature=channel_video_title), is even easier to tie and better in holding the hook in the right angle.

[@zlidewayz]

why tie a uni knot when you can go palomar knot on a dropshot

[@oluna1981]

Ox blood

[@jacquelynswartz4671]

A Mart perfected the doodle worm created by Don Iveino I know butchered his last name but he was the fairy stick king from Cali as well doodle worm on steroids is a Drop shot RIP HogSnatcher

[@XTheBassAssassinX]

Aaron Martens always comes in 2nd

[@pinktacoetr]

nothing to see here folks move on,great video for the novice.

[@cbradquillen]

He sound more like a professional surfer or skateboarder than a professional fisherman.

[@tysonholt7466]

Times before trapper tackle hooks 🤣

[@fredoberloh5801]

I will love you always forever

[@sandman503]

ox blood light red flake

[@danielbeavers8701]

Sounds to me like someone does more than fishing

[@peteredwards1528]

or maybe just get a VMC Spinshot drop shot hook? Makes rigging a drop shot rig a piece of cake

[@isaacsanchez5887]

Confusing as heck!

[@jag8901]

[@dirtyoarcatfishing7927]
