Good stuff bro! Here’s a little tip from me to you that helps me save hundreds of plastics a year without sacrificing the action of the bait. It’s really helped me from running out the past couple months on flatworms.... ruclips.net/video/gzU7lHkkmrE/видео.html
Dude!!! This tip is so good. Thank you man!
I was just thinking about this the other day. People never talk about line angle or bottom contour when it comes to leader length. Nice job man.
Thank youuu from Dallas Texas USA 🙏💜💯
Great info as always thx Ben! Enjoy your trip and catch some big ones!!
Thank you Victor!
Franks great outdoors is such an awesome bait store!
Awesome! Thanks Ben for the tips 💯
Thank you Jordan 🙌🏻 I appreciate you checking out the vids
One of the best breakdown's of the dropshot keep them coming 👍🐟
Thanks so much Terry!
as always, good stuff brother!!
good to see you back great tips
Thanks so much Glenn!
welcome back. perfect timing content wise, as that is pretty much the only fishing technique working right now on my lakes for big smallmouth. I cruise around until I find fish on the graph at my console, mark a waypoint that transfer to my front graph/trolling motor and then use the go to feature on my trolling motor to take me right back to that spot. Once I figured this out, it turned a very slow day into a fairly productive day. That said, the other thing that I noticed is that even in 30' foot of water, if my boat was right over the fish, they wouldn't bite. I had to back off several feet to get them comfortable again. The other thing this time of year presents as a challenge, is they are chasing bait fish, versus stuck to structure, so they may bein that spot for a couple of minutes, and then they are gone, chasing the bait fish. So it is a game of constant movement if you want to catch fish. And the ONLY thing that would get them to bite, as a drop shot. Not a tube. Not a ned. Not a Wacky/Neko worm. A drop shot was all that would work. Finicky bite, but man, when you get one, they are getting fat as they feed up for the fall run into winter....
You are 100% spot on. It's the same way here as well. Fish are super mobile because those deeper fish (and some shallower fish) tend to be on baitfish over flats with isolated boulders or cover. Dropshotting is the only technique I've found to be efficient right now, but if you can find them roaming a flat, fishing a blade bait has also caught me a few fish
@@brnowak_fishing The other technique that has worked pretty well for me when they start roaming flats/shallower waters chasing bait fish is to use a spy bait. I watched a couple of your spy baiting videos last year, so this year I had invested in a couple of different types of spy baits and I caught my first spy bait fish last week and it was an awesome bite. I'm hooked. It's clearly a time of year thing, almost like jerk baiting, but when you can actually entice big small mouth to attack a spy bait it's incredibly fun. Looking forward to the fall transition which is happening here in Maine earlier than I ever recall.
awesome job
I really appreciate the level of detail and insight that you put into the information in this video, its a 10 minute drop shot clinic. I bought a Berkley Power Bait drop shot kit from Gander in the late 90's. It is the best $15 I have ever spent. It is an effective technique and presentation.
That means a ton - thank you, I’m glad the video helps! That’s so cool! I remember when I first saw the power of a dropshot on Champlain. It’s one of my favorite techniques
My smallmouth guru. Solid tips!
you are the best! Thank you :-)
Like usually, great tips!!!👍👍👍🎣
Thank you !!!!
Thank you so much Alex
Great video
Thank you!
Great Tips!!! I have a medium light slow action rod and it has a very light tip that goes into a lot of backbone. I was wondering if that would be a good option
NoWakeNation! Elephant in the room...what are the green dangly strands hanging from your drop-shot hook? Out with it!
I was just about to ask this as well.
It’s just something I’m playing with for now. I’m not sure if it helps or works or not yet, so for now, the secret shall stay 😂
Awesome video Ben 👍🏻 QQ; Lately it seems as if all of the Major Events on our Northern Lakes have been dominated with a Dropshot rather than a Tube. In previous years it has been a similar ratio as well. Is it the advancement of sonar systems and the technique it brings, or is the time of year and deeper water?? I have always favored a tube, but that may change. What's your thoughts?
Great tips like always hope the family is doing great our club is headed your way in September classic is on Foote dam hoping to stop by franks and maybe catch you there
Thanks so much Jose! Yes, if you swing by, let me know. I’m in there almost every week day
The Smallmouth Experience ok I will thank you
I use powell med light extra fast for my drop shotting..I definitely noticed the lost fish on the surge..1 thing I noticed that helped alot,was the hook..I was using the gami am drop shot hook & the owner mosquito light..They are both light wire hooks & "flex" alot..I switched over to the standard owner mosquito hook & my land ratio increased tremendously...
Great great point! I love the owner mosquito standard or the owner sniper hook. The VMC Neko is great too, but also flexes a bit
Great tips. Where are you going on your fishing trip? Hope all is well with you and the family until next time take care bud
Thank you Shawn! I hope you guys are doing well too! I'm just headed a few hrs north to Lake Huron on a different section I've never fished before
You're really going to tease us with those skirt strands on hook?! How's that been working?
I've been testing it the past few trips. It looks neat, but I'm not sure how big of a difference it makes. It's just something different I'm trying out, but so far am very much split on whether or not it helps at all :-)
Great advice.....I have a question for you. When nose hooking a bait 3 1/2 inches or less, what is your favorite hook size and what brand leader line do you use? TYIA
Hi Gene, I’ve become a big fan of the owner Mosquito Light size 1 lately
Hi Ben. Hadn't seen you for a while. How's Dad life been for you?
Are you mixing up leader length with distance from hook to weight?
Yeah, distance from hook to weight is what I mean by leader length. My length from hook to braid is limited because I run a swivel on my dropshot
Bring back the technique specific videos!
Any ones you wanna hear about?
I think you explained the actions of the rod in reverse. An extra fast bends further down the rod including the very limber tip. The less action, the stiffer the rod
Hey David - Actually, the slower the rod, the further down the blank it bends.
Extra Fast has the lightest tip section, but transfers quickly into backbone/stiff rod - Think 90/10 or 80/20, Backbone to tip
Fast = 70/30
ModFast = 60/40
Moderate/Slow has closest to a true parabolic action where the load is distributed equally throughout the blank and the rod bends equally across the length of the blank to the handle
@@brnowak_fishing I think we're saying the same thing but I just misunderstood your explanation.
Do u Dropshot a fly for smallmouth
Are you on Ontario? If so what part
No sir, on Huron
Sorry man but I have cheap $100 combos and they work just fine for drop shot, Texas rig or wacky rig. No need to spend hundreds on too many rod and reals. Typical average combo is just as good for all these styles of fishing.
I didnt know luka fished
Who’s luka?
Luka doncic
Sorry, Still a BORING!! technique. I think you may as well be bait fishing in my opinion.
Haha I tried 🤷🏼♂️😂
