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.

[@TylersReelFishing]

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

I'm going to give my beginning tackle box to my granddaughter, Zoey. She is 11 and knows how to catch bluegill. She is now eager to learn to catch bass. I'm her 81 yr old grandma and fishing partner! She's so excited and passionate to learn. I hope we win!

That is awesome!

[@deepintheheartoftx7548]

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

[@baiseduezcke2295]

I love using the slip bobber with a dropshot

[@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.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Let’s go!! Super sick

[@Cbill1987]

Bro you from Pittsburgh?

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

Just be careful! Check your local regulations. My state does not allow dropshot in rivers, but allows them in lakes. Never fun to have the DNR coming down on ya with a citation!

[@TylersReelFishing]

I appreciate that!

[@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!

[@Nissenformed]

The quality of production and explanations of everything are top notch! Some vids are good to watch, but then there's those like this video we watch to actually learn.

[@farrzmd3038]

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.

Great stuff!

Over time, you’ll see a major difference with bigger hooks like the 1/0

[@user-bl5qe2ri3w]

i love your videos and as a begginer they have helped me so much i wanted to ask you what are the best baitcasting rod for under 60 dollars.

[@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

[@williamgould2470]

Hey Tyler, what is your line setup for the dropshot?

[@Huntn_fish365.2]

1000th like 👍🏽 🎉

[@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!

[@tuurcappaert3311]

May I ask when you fish a spinner the next day with advantaged how do you do it with your hook do you loosen that or do you cut the wire.

[@ProKr3w]

Mosquito light #2 is my fav hook

[@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

[@brewster102]

Lots of folks down here on the Louisiana Miss. gulf coast use this in deep water with soft plastics or live shrimp for speckled trout

[@TylersReelFishing]

For sure!

[@cpsullivan69]

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.

Bass I find are all within the bottom 3 ft - 5 ft of water. The drop-shot allows a fast drop to within range and a slower more natural wiggle for the last 3-5 drawing bites. I should state that I wiggle worm drop-shot.
