BUYER'S GUIDE: DROPSHOT FISHING (Worms, Hooks, And Rods)
Today's Buyers Guide is all about dropshotting fishing! Dropshotting is a core technique that every serious angler should master. Today we're exploring the different worms, rods, and terminal tackle that shine with this technique. We're also throwing in some key tackle tips that will make a huge difference when you're fishing!
Dropshot fishing can be very simple. You suspend a worm above your weight and shake it to draw fish in. But that's just the beginning of this giant category! There are different worm shapes and styles, different hook shapes and wire sizes, and that's before we get into the rods and equipment. As time goes on you'll learn that subtle differences in the baits and hooks make a huge difference in your catch rates. Today the guys are breaking down their favorite baits for different situations and explaining how each one should be rigged.
Below you'll find links to the baits, terminal tackle, and rods we showed throughout the video. We've listed them in the order they appeared and included favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
