I don't do much dropshotting, but this was a very enjoyable session. As a disclaimer you will get bitten off by pike on 6lb fluro. Just don't want anyone misinterpreting what i said at the beginning of the video. It just offered slightly more protection than the 2lb i was thinking of using. Tight lines guys!

To be fair I use seaguar ace hard in 9lb and not suffered a bite off yet. Not saying it doesn’t happen but it’s better than most think.

You can tie heavier weighted fluro to a lighter braid! It's no problem if you know how to use your drag. I often use 6lb braid to a 10lb+ fluoro leader

You need to be so careful when using micro sized lures as anything will take them, I was jigging on the grand union canal and had a 20lb carp on one!!! Took me an hour to get it to the net on ultra light perch gear.

I would like to thank you, your enthusiasm and catches on micro lure made me invest, having a similar canal here. Fished and not done too great getting used to it. But today you sat on my shoulders several perch and then a PB chub, it was immense as was the fight and getting it into a net far too small. I'd guess over 7lb, so thanks mate!

I have never done dropshots. I have seen the setup, but when you fish on dropshot, do you wait then to sink to bottom and bob it along the bottom or you can start jigging when its just little under water. I am planning to try this for still water trout.

Watched a Guy drop shotting years ago and when I asked about his set up he had two AA's on a 16" tail which he said served two purposes as he could slide them up or down to alter the depth the lure was off the bottom and they would simply slide off if he got snagged.

Great video but that net coupled with the elastic is so painful to watch. Just get an extending bank stick with a flip latch and a regular net head so you can quickly make it longer if needed. That net is designed for people wading or sat in kayaks and as this video illustrates is very inconvenient for bank fishing.

@BlokeOnAMotorbike 3 жыл бұрын
yeah for rigs this light the double uni works fine, for heavier stuff the FG is the one to use - because for distance casting you're using a longer leader, the join has to go through the guides. Works better if it isn't skipping through the rings, abrading the knot and possibly damaging the guides.

My grandfather told me to do for trout fishing 🎣 in lake's from the bank or shore line however you say it. For just bait like doe balls, worm 🪱 and cut baits.

Great stuff. It's almost the time of year for daddy long legs (the cranefly sort). You should make a video on fishing them with a bubble float. You use a fine, small hook and they thrash about dramatically on the surface. Very exciting way to catch trout and roach and other species that will feed from the surface.
