    Snell knot is a must with a drop shot rig. You are exactly right.

    Using a snell knot is a really cool idea. I've seen a hundred tricks on how to keep your hook level on a drop shot. This looks like the best method.

    Great idea! I have a neighbor who is Japanese American and travels to Japan several times a year. He showed me a set-up he picked up in Japan. You basically place your hook between 2 bobber stops with no knot. This allows the hook to swivel 360 degrees with no line twist. It also allows for infinite leader adjustment without retying. The only downside is you have to use a closed eye sinker just in case big mama pulls the bobber stop down. I just use 4 - 2 above and 2 below the hook. I have never had one pull all the way down.

      @@db9818 Most prefer the kind of sinker where you pinch the line in the top. That way if you get the sinker snagged, it will just pull free and you don't lose the whole rig.

    I use a 2/0 worm hook for my Texas rig drop shot set up. Using the bent worm hook gives your artificial bait better suspension in the water,making it look like it is swimming to the surface. I have good luck with it in the ponds around my house.

    Take a deeper dive into the rest of hiroshis baits. His namazu soft plastic is an absolute sleeper of a bait, it gets destroyed. And his hard baits are some of the highest quality, fine tuned, rigorously tested baits on the market. His jerkbaits are so amazing and his outer weight makes them adjustable from a floater to a countdown bait and everything in between. His erie 115tw is a killer topwater, so lifelike birds will try and grab it lol. Both his Jigs are unreal as well. Can't say enough good things about nishine lure works, I fish his baits almost exclusively.

    Matt, I have a question; This year I am finally catching fish on Whopper Ploppers. The thing is, I am catching the fish prior to the bait getting back to the surface right after casting. I was wondering, maybe, I should switch to a shallow diving jerk bait? To give myself more time in the strike zone. This year the weeds are already up to 6" to 8" from the surface. My square bills and crank baits are getting hung up right away. Got any advice?

    Drop shotting in Florida is difficult with a hook that’s not weedless . I pretty much fish 95 percent of the time in Florida . I use the palomer knot . There is this cool looking Knot online everyone is trying , that looks perfect for a drop shot ! But only 1 problem ! It’s a very weak knot ! You can literally break it by hand so easily!

      I have used that knot for a couple of years. It is a weak knot but that hook stands out perfect. Use 10lb test or higher test line and retie often. The knot makes your bait sit perfect and is worth it in my opinion. The knot can be tied in seconds.
