I have a question for you guys, I need help with my dropshotting. I mostly throw swimbaits, and t-rig, cranks you name it. But dropshotting is one of my weaknesses. Any tips would be helpful thanks.


My dropshot seup right now is a shimano sedona 500 spooled with 6lb test fluro-pline, and a loomis imx spinning rod i belive 6' 6'' medium, would this do. Or should I swich to my loomis shaky head rod?

You, know your a fisherman when your boat costs more then your car

Thanks for the response swimbait, I understand how drop shotting worked I've spend time observing the technique in clear water. I'm just a little puzzled on how to detect bites. Some people say the fish will rip it out of your hands, other say the bite will be undetectable. I'm just not sure when to stop jigging

I don't think I've ever had a fish rip it out of my hands while drop shotting. You will feel the weight of the fish while your wiggling the rig. Just load up the rod and reel in, letting the reel set the hook. Don't jerk up on the rod to set the hook like you would with a t-rigged worm.

once you start doing it a lot you will get the feel of bites, cuz bites will never have a certain consistant "feel" every day i fish i get bites that feel completely different so just pay attention basically haha

bites range from pressure to a heavy "tap". every once in a while the bite is so light that i could only tell cuz the bait started to swim away. but i fish a lot of shallow ds where i think it is easier to feel the bite. i haven't fished it deep much yet. i understand that that bite is a lot more of a pressure bite.
