Fishing Drop Shots: Techniques for Easy Catching

Weights below the Hook Give Bass a Better View

Fishing drop shots involves a technique for tying the hooks on a line and then placing the weight below the hook. In that way, when the weight hits the bottom, the hook is suspended in clear view of the bass. This was actually a common technique for many of us who fished as children, but that is where the similarity ends. For bass fishing, this technique is considered a finesse technique using lighter lines and smaller baits. The aim is to fish for less-active fish that are not prone to chasing reaction baits. Fish look at the suspended lures as an easy meal.

The Rod Makes a Difference in This Technique

Fishermen can use smaller reels and a more efficient setup when fishing drop shots loaded with the lighter test fluorocarbon line. That provides a lighter rig overall. Specialty hooks are also available for dropshotting and there are even hooks specifically designed for nose hooking the lure or fishing it Texas rig style. You’ll find this technique is very effective at pulling in more than a few bass. (more…)
