- In todays trout fishing video I'm going to go over exactly how to use the double dropshot to catch trout. I will show you everything you need to know to get out there and start hooking up some of those monster trout. I will tell you when and where to use the technique, what rods, reels, and line you will need, show you exactly how to tie the dropshot rig, and then exactly how best to fish it.

Probably already commented but getting ready for Santa Ana …. LET’S GO ! See you there !
Right on! Im hoping to finally get out there right after turkey day 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors can I fish with you 😂
Going turkey morning... letssss go 🎣
Great video for us newbies! Keep up the great content! Thank you
Thanks brother. Now get out there and sore lip some trout 🤘
Awesome video as always Rob! Love the amount of detail and variations you included, big help for those like me just getting into the dropshot game 🤙🔥🔥
Thanks brother 🙏
Appreciate all the vids. You fish my local area and give great details on the rigs and techniques. ThankYOU
This is AWESOME! Thanks for makin this man. 🙂👍 Totally gonna save this one for future use as needed my friend. Peace ✌😎
Thanks for watching John 🙏
🤙🏼Nice got 3 the other day at fin and feather on the drop shot also waiting on my order from golden state can't wait tight lines and thanks for the code btw
Hell yeah! Get out there and get em 🤘
The drop shot was my go-to for bass fishing, but I haven't tried it for trout yet. I'll have to do that this year. I was already planning on doing it with flies, but I'll do this as well.
Definitely a very effective technique in murky water
Well done bro 👏🏽🙌🏽 very informative and well spoken . 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks brother 🙏
i've been a bait fishman most of my life. I tried the dropshot for the first time about a month ago and I'm never looking back. Thanks for sharing.
Thats pretty much how it went for me 🤘
Hey Rob just want to thank you sir for helping my nephew catch his new PB on Saturday I really appreciate it.
Right on!! Your nephew definitely has skills. He had to walk that toad down the bank, got tangled in several lines and still managed to get it to the net. I got it all on video. Should be out next Monday. He killed it out there 🤘
@SeaSpanker Outdoors oh man that would be great to see since I didn't see it thanks
@@hyperhex7827 Dont worry I got the hook up to the catch 🤘
Jusr finished watching great info again, your videos have helped a lot to catch more fish, Thankyou, Lee and Cathy Ps she always otfishes me!!
Thanks Lee. Haha yeah the sgt major always seems to out fish me as well 🤷🏼♂️
Great video man. The only 2 things missing were showing the leader loop to the snaps and how to cast the dropshot rig. Many people strughle with this and I think it would be beneficial.
Thanks for the input Hector. Your absolutely right about the snaps. After I published it I realized that I forgot to show those😬. As far as casting, I cast the dropshot the same way I cast anything else. There isnt any special to cast it out at least that I know of.
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Sometimes at the lake I've had people tell me that they struggle casting with the extra length and weight hanging down.
@@hectorcamacho5565 I see. Ill play around with it next time I’m on the water and see if I can come up with something
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Keep up the great work man. Yours is the ONLY channel that I consider a trout fishing encyclopedia. No BS, no bloated ego, just SOLID information.
@@hectorcamacho5565 thanks brother I really appreciate it 🙏
Great video Rob, as always appreciate the knowledge. When you get a chance can you give me the your guys seminar schedule at Long Beach when possible. Thanks Nice to see you getting these sponsors on your channel.
Thanks Brian I really appreciate it🙏. We dont have the schedule for Long Beach yet but as soon as we get it we’ll post it up
Very good lesson, so informative. Thanks
Thanks Jose 🤘
Hi Robert I just wanna say thank you for the fishing the one you give it to me Friday that was delicious. I'm a good tacos
Right on! It was great getting to talk to ya 🤘
Awesome Video! I have watched and rewatched this video to learn how to set up the Drop Shot. This video is a huge help. I was at the Del Mar show but did not see you guys. There was lots to see.
Thanks Randy. Bummed I missed you at Del Mar. We’ll be out at the Long Beach show in March and we will have the GSF booth set up as well as giving seminars on mini jigs, dropshot, and Katana Rods. Oh and I’m sure well talk a bit about Pyramid as well.
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors
Great video as always Rob! 👏👏👏Very helpful information. Best of luck to you on your next fishing trip, go catch a monster 👉🎣👍
Thanks Jerry 🙏
Awesome video Rob. We learned everything we know from you and your very informative videos like this one. Glad to see we were on this video haha. Miss you bro. Let's get some mo.
Thanks brother. Miss you guys. Im out at Pyramid right now. We gotta plan a trip out here some time 🤘
@SeaSpankerOutdoors that's awesome bro. Hope you get a pb while you're there. We are supposed to try some walleye fishing today. If Kelly ever wakes up. We Def need to take a trip there.
Thanks For Sharing , fish on!
Thanks for watching Anthony 🙏
Great video can't wait to try it
Just stick with it. It definitely works just give yourself some time to get it down and you’ll be slayin fish 🤘
Thank you for the lesson. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
Question for you sir, when you store the ones you tie before hand, do you put multiple in one ziplock bag or one drop shot rig per bag?
I just put one rig in each bag. I also use ziplock freezer sandwich bags, they are a bit more rigid and it helps keep the rig from tangling.
Hello, you mentioned swivels you can use to do premade setups, what do those look like? Thanks
I think I was referring to snap swivels as most folks have those in their tackle. I prefer to use duo lock snaps. Here is a link a.co/d/5odbhsF
What lakes were you fishing at. Thx for the video. Gotta try out this rig for sure. Thx again.
No worries it was SARL and Lake Palmdale (The Fin and Feather)
Thanks for your video
Thank you for watching 🙏
Really good tips thanks
Thanks brother 🙏
Howdy Rod like that Katana great video as well.
Thanks Bob 🙏 yeah those Katana rods are really nice. Definitely changed my perspective on higher end gear
Great fishing!!! What kind of line and size you recommend? 4lbs mono? Do you use a thinner leader at the end?
I use 4-5lb fluorocarbon typically. I used to use mono but only 4lb for trout. For dropshot and mini jig applications i like 4lb iron feather braid with a 5lb fluoro leader
What do you have better luck with / prefer at somewhere like SARL between mini jigs and the double drop shot?
Definitely dropshot. The murky water is key for that technique 🤘
Thanks for this! Very helpful for sure. Do you usually put more than one rig in the ziploc or keep them separate in their own bags? Just curious how you keep them from getting tangled up if more than 1 per bag. Lol.
I just put one rig in each bag and I use freezer bags that are sandwich size. The freezer bags are a bit more rigid and it helps prevent tangles. The rigs do tangle once in a while but its pretty rare 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors okay great! Thanks again! See you out on the water! Hoping to be at Gregory in may for the next stock.
i gotta ask, i use a medium light for bass fishing specificly dropshot. However, I use this rod and my celilo a lot for trout in the fall is that good enough for double shot?
Sure it will get the job done. If you get to where you really like the technique you can invest in an ultra light rod more suited for dropshot but you will be able to make it work with the med action rod in the meantime
Hey would like to purchase some spartan minnows from u .in the 2 colors u recommend along with the 1/16 drop should weights 1 pkge
You will need to go to goldenstatefishing.shop and place your order. I dont sell the baits I just Pro Staff for the company 🤘
Omg Ughh, umm, I can't Ughh, umm watch umm this umm video umm umm
@@rickbrown8365 yup I definitely gotta work on that haha. If you ever have any questions or need any tips just let me know 🤘
Thank you for the info. Great stuff. Got skunked at skinner this weekend. And advice?
Actually never fished skinner but some general advice would be to keep goin. I got skunked at the mudhole on Tuesday and went back on Saturday a got 2 toads. Just keep tryin 🤘
@SeaSpanker Outdoors Copy that. Thanks, will do.
25:25 mark, was this at the catfish lake or the big lake at SARL? I havent been there in 20 years, got some GSF (using your link) i want to try out there, any tips on spots?
That was in chris pond. Some of my favorite areas at SARL are the east end of Chris Pond, the front of the big lake by the boat dock, Toad Road, and the bubble hole.
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thank you sir 🙏 Appreciate you and your content. I tried your technique with the spoons today and landed 7 back to back. Made me look like a pro like you 🤣
What size of weight do you recommend for pyramid lake. Thanks ??
For dropshot there I use a 1/4 oz
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors . Bizarre i was thinking that 👍
💯👍
GOOD TUTORIAL BUD..
Thanks brother 🙏
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors you going pyramid this week??
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors you going pyramid this week??
@@donaldstephensen8654 yup. I’ll be out there Thursday thru Sunday
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors good luck bud
What kind of Minnows would You Recommend For Santa Ana?
El diablo, yellow white, carmel apple, gold pearl and brown, bubble gum, and black galaxy 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors
Thank You
Just Ordered Some From Golden State Fishing👌🏽
Do you use brand new hooks for every new fishing trip or do you save them?
I’ll reuse them as long as they remain sharp and undamaged. Otherwise I toss em. But even reusing some I go through alot of hooks in a season
Thanks Rob! I'll be out there at the lakes on Wednesday so if you see an idiot fishing out there it's me trying to figure out this dropshot lol
Lol. No judgement here, I feel the same way constantly if the fish aren’t biting haha
💯🔥💙👍
It’s my understanding that drop shot is only legal for still water in California, but not for streams or rivers. Is that accurate?
Interesting. Ive never heard that but it may have to do with the amount of hooks on a dropshot rig in moving water. I could see a rig with two or more hooks may be illegal in certain waters but a single im pretty sure is legal in most rivers and streams
Awesome video I just started going here and I love it I just want to get better bites and better at fishing 💯🫡 hopefully I see you out there brotha I’m hoping I go today
Thanks brother 🙏. Im sure well run into each other out there somewhere 🤘
What is your favorite spot at SARL
My favorite spot is probably the east end of chris pond
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors thanks for the tip! Me and my 9 year old son each hit our limit in 2 hours today at the spot you gave us! Out of there by 8:30!
I appreciate it. Tight lines bro!
Can't use double dropshot in Denmark, is illegal to use more than 1 hook per line ...but I use single dropshot and is the best technique for trout
Oh wow thats very interesting. I definitely agree, if I cant double Ill just get em on the single dropshot 🤘
Where can we find Katana Rods?
They are currently available over instagram. If you message @gsfcustombaits he will tell you exactly how to get your hands on one. Also, GSF will have a booth at the Bart Hall Show in Long Beach this coming March. Esteban plans on bringing several to the show to sell.
Sorry fat fingers, one more question. What is the color pattern of jigs between dark and clear water?
Honestly its kind of random haha. You never can really tell what they are gonna want day to day whatever the water clarity. The baseline rule I follow is more natural looking colors in clear water and neutral colors in dark/stained water, whites and blacks and dark greens. There is also something to be said about matching the color of the water. When the water is green or brown matching your bait to the water color works now and then 🤘
I always add a drop of super glue on my knots to lock them down.
Very interesting. Ive never tried that 🤔
Do you notice that this increases the strength of the knot a noticeable amount?
@ryanm4834 I use it to prevent knots from slipping which happened the most when the line gets cold.
Most breaks happen where the knot line is wrapped around the hook eye. The Palomar knot works well because two lengths of line wrap the eyelet. With other knots such as uni or cinch, I always put the line through the eyelet twice then tie the knot. You are now spreading the stress at the hook eyelet over two lengths of line instead of one.
