The LAST Drop Shot Video You Will Ever Need (Drop Shot Masterclass)

[@SGT_Reid]

Tyler is that friend you have that is really passionate about a certain subject. And if you get them on it, you can sit back and let them talk for hours if they want.

Just ask my wife, I’ll talk for HOURS😂

You are so smooth in your delivery and you make it so easy to learn. Thanks for all you do for bass fishing.

[@samstewart4444]

Lately, I been using the drop shot in pond fishing with a special hazard you did not mention. Catfish also love the drop shot presentation. In the last 2 weeks I am getting equal parts catfish and bass when using live bluegill (instead of lures) on a drop shot. Another variation is the use a slip bobber to keep the line somewhat vertical in the water column. The bobber gives an extra sensitive "feel" for what is going on. Good video, lots of useful information. 🎣🐟🐟🐟

[@TylersReelFishing]

Dang haha, I had no clue! Now, in reference to your bobber, I will be making a video about that sometime soon

[@wbrisendine]

Thanks for the tip! Planning to try my first drop shot tomorrow. Your video helped me get my setup ready. 🎣

[@TylersReelFishing]

Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the great comment!

[@theconstructionguy8675]

I had a really hard time on my river. The learning curve was brutal. I watched one if your videos quite a while back and you said something to the idea that a drop shot wirks when nothing else will. And honestly that broke my curve and I fish the heck out of all three rivers in my town. God bless you sir and i truly feel blessed to have found you.

What’s sad is I’ve watched for 2 years and I’ve learned so much from this channel that I don’t have to come back anymore 😢 but I seen this in my notifications today and had to drop a comment. I never subbed either until now don’t hate me haha

[@TylersReelFishing]

Honestly, your story is totally fine by me. Someone learning all they need to learn, then continuing the journey on their own. Stop by every once in a while though, I’d start to miss you!

Crazy how some techniques that work in your area work in central illinois. Although the fishing here is actually pretty good contrary to popular belief

[@mcm542]

Good video. I like that it’s relatively short and non-repetitive.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you liked it!

[@dtoux]

Here is a tip, leave tag end say 6 inch long the attach a tippet ring to it and now you can attach your drop weight on a thinner mono or fluro line… this way you can adjust length of the tag as needed without re- rigging😉 …something I do alot while fly fishing 😉

[@dankjankings7339]

What is a tippet ring?

[@Smiththebat]

@@dankjankings7339 Similar to a split ring but made for tying fly fishing tippet (equivalent to a bass fishing leader) to the end of your line. Basically OP is saying this will save you having to retie the whole rig when you want to modify it. Also helps ensure just your weight breaks off if yoh get snagged! It’s a clever idea!

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

This is as good of a dropshot video as I've seen. Thanks Tyler. 👊

[@robertbrost7777]

Good video Tyler. Going to send it to my friend who's just starting out fishing. One addition, has to do with the Palomar knot. After tying the knot, pull the knot "wad" down through the hook eye towards the weight. Now, the wad is under the hook eye and supporting it. This will help keep the hook standing more horizontally and keep the bait more horizontal. ** If you're using a small hook with a small eye and/or a bigger diameter line, this wont work as you wont be able to pull the knot wad through the eye.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Definitely a good point to add! I would have talked about that, but I didn’t have a lens with me that could get close enough to show that

Great video. I like Texas rig style hooks spring, summer, fall. Winter is the only time I’ll go to nose or threading style hooks because most of the vegetation has died off. …. Drop shot for me is my first go to presentation. Drop shot, NED / shakey, and then weightless. I fishing primarily for largemouth in water that has mucky / black mud bottoms. So if my moving baits and a bouncing jig don’t work it’s drop shot next. Because I can TR a 3” paddle tail and slow slow retrieve as a finesse search bait. Reeling a drop shot has become my sneaky search bait.

I once tried two hooks on the same drop shot rig and caught two perches at one point. It works well with multiple hooks for schooling fish. Especially if you were thinking of taking the fish home and eating it, then you want to get more.

[@notsure7874]

We do that all tthe time fishing salt water, it's called a chicken rig. Our loops are generally longer. We use a dropper loop knot, not a palomar.

[@brucekeeney3131]

Thanks for the info! Your a good teacher!

[@irench]

So I got tired of line twist and had a bunch of barrel swivels in the terminal box. Decided to see how that works if it makes a difference. I'm convinced as the line twists up, the lure presents different and costs fish. I put the barrel above the hook about 8 inches. I was very tempted to use the non traditional hooks and after watching this I'm deffinetly going to make up a DS with the texas and thread. I've tried creature baits too with no success. Though I'm convinced there should be some action with it.

@@TylersReelFishing I'm looking to get the rod you mentioned in the description and I'm wondering if the 'Shimano NASCI FC Spinning Reel' would be a good fit for a dropshot/nedrig setup? But if you really think the 'Lew's Custom Lite Series' worth the 60$ difference I may consider it.. what do you think ?

[@Glock-1]

I tell you a little trick put a bobber stop on your line then put the line through your hook with the point sticking up but don’t tie it on then put another bobber stop on so now you have 2 bobber stops with a hook sandwiched between then just tie your weight on that way you can adjust the height of your drop shot as you want to and you don’t have to cut it off and tie it at a different height!

Great video. Had to watch a few times to absorb everything :) I went out with a local guide a few weeks ago, he had me using dropshot and it KILLED. Your video is giving me confidence to try it on my own. The link you provide for the "threading" hook goes to a VMC Wacky NEKO Weedless hook...doesn't look like the one you show in the video. I assume the threading hook is just the straight-up VMC Wacky NEKO?

[@tnbassmaster]

this was awesome, do you think you could do a hair jig masterclass!

[@pjsmith8915]

good video only thing i really do different is i dont do the braid to flouro deal i use berkley flouroshield...flourocarbon coated copolymer 10lb saves some money and eliminates the extra knot. plus get the benefit of flouro invisibility that works well on your spinning reel. its tough line i fish lake michigan for smallies and it handles nicks and abrasions real well...

[@TylersReelFishing]

While that is a good list of positive positives, you are losing out on some main positives of braid to Flouro. Those being longer casting distance, longer line life, and increase sensitivity. If you learn to tie a good leader knot, you are at no disadvantage

[@Alto1960]

I add 2 bobber stops. One to either side of the drop shot hook. The hook is not tied, you merely thread the line through the hook. This allows you to slide the bobber stops to your desired hook depth off the bottom.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Hmm, interesting idea. As long as they hold!

@@TylersReelFishing I find the rubber stops hold tight to the line. Bonus to this system is... Ask me and I will tell you 😁

[@davidwallace3933]

​​@@Alto1960, please tell the bonus. Is the hook just threaded and pinched between the bobber stops?

Yes hook is pinned between the 2 bobber stops. Bonus is tie a snap swivel to the tag end and change different weights in a flash. Also helps reduce line twist

No fancy knots to tie and be able to change hook drop length quickly

[@trleith]

Dropshot works well for summer crappie too. Same idea, smaller bait.

[@kodyk3659]

Thanks for the video, Tyler. I am learning a TONS from your videos, well done sir. A question for you, in your other video (I believe it was about the difference b/w Fishing line types and correct application for each line type), you mentioned that the line rating on rods are generally for mono/fluoro since it is the type universarly used by the anglers. Giving the power and length of your fav dropshot rod, I am assuming that your rod's line rating is around 8~14lb, but why do you opt to go 10 or 15lb braided line when your rod can tolerate more? Is it something to do with the buoyancy or and visibility of the braided line? I am super curious about your thought process behind picking the specific line testing for your fav dropshot set up. Thanks so much!
