Summer Dropshot Fishing - These Tricks Matter When It's HOT Outside!
From power shotting, to finesse presentations, we're taking a deep dive into Summer dropshot fishing! The dropshot is more versatile than most angler's realize. If you've compartmentalized it as a finesse technique, you're missing a lot of amazing dropshot opportunities in the Summer! Its time to pull out a bait caster, upsize your tackle, and catch more fish!
In today's video Tim is covering standard dropshot fishing, including some of his key baits. But he's also adapting the method for grass, for heavy cover punching and flipping, and even for Bait Finesse (BFS) applications. The dropshot is far more versatile than we give it credit for and today Tim finally took the time to show us how it's done.
Below you'll find links to all his favorite baits, hooks, weights, and accessories. We've also included links to his personal favorite dropshot rods and reels. All the links to directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
