Thanks for the question and comments Tony. That’s the best bit of RUclips... interacting with people! Otherwise it’s not social media, it’s just monologue media!
Good morning Thom. Hope all is well …. Always thought about this method and how I missed this video for so long is beyond me 😳😳…. Anyways was just wandering if I was doing this method in running water could you also reverse the rig as shown in your video !!! So the weight is on the short line and the jig / lure is at the end ( in the flow ) ….. you’ve probably done it before but I’m not even half as good as you so asking the expert …. If you could give any advice it would be much appreciated … all the best and thankyou 😄😄👍👍🎣🎣
Yes if you reverse it it’s called a Kickback rig if you wanted to Google that. Typically it’s a bit longer though at 6”-18” drop to weight and 2.5-5ft leader to the bait
To be honest I don’t really use drop shot much in the summer, as I prefer faster methods in warm water like crank baits and chatterbaits. However for the times I do use DS in the summer I’d go with a regular (hook directly on the line) rig 👍🏻
Finally a simple way to tie a dropshot rig! Thank you Thom! Tried it today, no bites!
Really enjoy your vids..so insightful thanks for taking the time to make them..I’ve personally learnt a lot from them..thanks
No problem! That’s the whole point.... just want to help people in their lure fishing journey
Thanks for answering my earlier question by showing this video. It was much appreciated.

@@Thomhuntfishing thankyou so much for your reply thom and I will check it out ……. Cheers again buddy and all the best 😄👍🎣
Would you still use a dropshot hook with this variant of the drop shot? Or a regular hook?
Hi Thom,
What size hooks do you use when drop shotting?
Cheers
Depends on the size of the bait… smallest I use is about an 8 or 10, biggest about a 2. A size 6 is a good allrounder 👍🏻
Do you also use this rig in summer of use the normal dropshotrig in summer?

Clever 👍
