Awesome Video! I have watched and rewatched this video to learn how to set up the Drop Shot. This video is a huge help. I was at the Del Mar show but did not see you guys. There was lots to see.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thanks Randy. Bummed I missed you at Del Mar. We’ll be out at the Long Beach show in March and we will have the GSF booth set up as well as giving seminars on mini jigs, dropshot, and Katana Rods. Oh and I’m sure well talk a bit about Pyramid as well.

@SeaSpankerOutdoors that's awesome bro. Hope you get a pb while you're there. We are supposed to try some walleye fishing today. If Kelly ever wakes up. We Def need to take a trip there.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

The drop shot was my go-to for bass fishing, but I haven't tried it for trout yet. I'll have to do that this year. I was already planning on doing it with flies, but I'll do this as well.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Definitely a very effective technique in murky water

[@hyperhex7827]

Hey Rob just want to thank you sir for helping my nephew catch his new PB on Saturday I really appreciate it.

[@hectorcamacho5565]

Great video man. The only 2 things missing were showing the leader loop to the snaps and how to cast the dropshot rig. Many people strughle with this and I think it would be beneficial.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Thanks for the input Hector. Your absolutely right about the snaps. After I published it I realized that I forgot to show those😬. As far as casting, I cast the dropshot the same way I cast anything else. There isnt any special to cast it out at least that I know of.

[@hectorcamacho5565]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Sometimes at the lake I've had people tell me that they struggle casting with the extra length and weight hanging down.

[@thebear74]

i gotta ask, i use a medium light for bass fishing specificly dropshot. However, I use this rod and my celilo a lot for trout in the fall is that good enough for double shot?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Sure it will get the job done. If you get to where you really like the technique you can invest in an ultra light rod more suited for dropshot but you will be able to make it work with the med action rod in the meantime

[@johnrooney9334]

Great video can't wait to try it

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Just stick with it. It definitely works just give yourself some time to get it down and you’ll be slayin fish 🤘

[@stevejeong6904]

Great fishing!!! What kind of line and size you recommend? 4lbs mono? Do you use a thinner leader at the end?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I use 4-5lb fluorocarbon typically. I used to use mono but only 4lb for trout. For dropshot and mini jig applications i like 4lb iron feather braid with a 5lb fluoro leader

[@georgesalcedo2735]

Hello, you mentioned swivels you can use to do premade setups, what do those look like? Thanks

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I think I was referring to snap swivels as most folks have those in their tackle. I prefer to use duo lock snaps. Here is a link a.co/d/5odbhsF

[@waguni]

Question for you sir, when you store the ones you tie before hand, do you put multiple in one ziplock bag or one drop shot rig per bag?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I just put one rig in each bag. I also use ziplock freezer sandwich bags, they are a bit more rigid and it helps keep the rig from tangling.

[@_Lt__Dan_]

25:25 mark, was this at the catfish lake or the big lake at SARL? I havent been there in 20 years, got some GSF (using your link) i want to try out there, any tips on spots?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

That was in chris pond. Some of my favorite areas at SARL are the east end of Chris Pond, the front of the big lake by the boat dock, Toad Road, and the bubble hole.

[@_Lt__Dan_]

@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thank you sir 🙏 Appreciate you and your content. I tried your technique with the spoons today and landed 7 back to back. Made me look like a pro like you 🤣

[@sambagz8826]

What do you have better luck with / prefer at somewhere like SARL between mini jigs and the double drop shot?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Definitely dropshot. The murky water is key for that technique 🤘

[@ElChinoZ15]

Thanks for this! Very helpful for sure. Do you usually put more than one rig in the ziploc or keep them separate in their own bags? Just curious how you keep them from getting tangled up if more than 1 per bag. Lol.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I just put one rig in each bag and I use freezer bags that are sandwich size. The freezer bags are a bit more rigid and it helps prevent tangles. The rigs do tangle once in a while but its pretty rare 🤘

Do you use brand new hooks for every new fishing trip or do you save them?

I’ll reuse them as long as they remain sharp and undamaged. Otherwise I toss em. But even reusing some I go through alot of hooks in a season

[@warrenwhite1125]

It’s my understanding that drop shot is only legal for still water in California, but not for streams or rivers. Is that accurate?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Interesting. Ive never heard that but it may have to do with the amount of hooks on a dropshot rig in moving water. I could see a rig with two or more hooks may be illegal in certain waters but a single im pretty sure is legal in most rivers and streams

[@chiccenhawkc]

[@nelsonmorales3682]

Thanks Rob! I'll be out there at the lakes on Wednesday so if you see an idiot fishing out there it's me trying to figure out this dropshot lol

[@cap2666]

Can't use double dropshot in Denmark, is illegal to use more than 1 hook per line ...but I use single dropshot and is the best technique for trout

[@brianjimenez9312]

Sorry fat fingers, one more question. What is the color pattern of jigs between dark and clear water?

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Honestly its kind of random haha. You never can really tell what they are gonna want day to day whatever the water clarity. The baseline rule I follow is more natural looking colors in clear water and neutral colors in dark/stained water, whites and blacks and dark greens. There is also something to be said about matching the color of the water. When the water is green or brown matching your bait to the water color works now and then 🤘

[@temijinkahn511]

I always add a drop of super glue on my knots to lock them down.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

Very interesting. Ive never tried that 🤔

[@ryanm4834]

Do you notice that this increases the strength of the knot a noticeable amount?

[@temijinkahn511]

@ryanm4834 I use it to prevent knots from slipping which happened the most when the line gets cold. Most breaks happen where the knot line is wrapped around the hook eye. The Palomar knot works well because two lengths of line wrap the eyelet. With other knots such as uni or cinch, I always put the line through the eyelet twice then tie the knot. You are now spreading the stress at the hook eyelet over two lengths of line instead of one.

[@EdithFayeHall]

You tied the first hook for bottom. Opposite of way.

[@SeaSpankerOutdoors]

I think it just looked that way since I turned to rig around so you could see it better on camera. I just watched it again and it looked right to me and the hooks were facing the same way at the end
