*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*

Thanks for the video. I’ve been doing the drop shot wrong until your video

Awesome! 👊🏼

Man this guy is the real deal answering questions and what not anyone else would ignore. I kinda wish I needed some baits so I could go out and support Missile Baits! Too bad I bought tons of tackle before he was in business!

XxNiteStockerxX Thanks man. Go catch more fish with what ya got!

Showing the nosehook rig presentation was helpful. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate the details that you covered. Learned a lot!

Great video!!! I found a lot of the same issues with the weight difference as well. I also noticed over the years that there is a different time to use the cylindrical shaped weights will give you unbelievable action vs the less active cannonball shapes. Both are crucial in the structure you fish in but I found out that when it really counts,.... you can't beat the cylindrical shaped for more intricate finesse fishing. The retrieve is a extremely slow & I add the lightest shake possible. Like sprinkling salt on a steak. Then leave it setting & usually it gets picked up lightly and you sweep hook it. I do like a 7'6" rod because I'm 6'1" tall. Thank you for sharing this one 👊

Great videos as usual. Love these types where you explain fundamental fishing styles. Also congrats on your placement at the classic.

I like when people like you just stick with the basic of life when talking to someone than just going out of space somewhere with what they are talking about to someone about this material world stuff that come and go So you talking the basic how to do it and I like that bro So tell the others to come back down to earth or stay in space with making life hard for others on earth!? Thank you for keeping it real and not making it so hard for others to learn!! Zarail aka Z

Awesome video very thoroughly done... Awesome Camera work

Excellent video...very informative! 👊💪

Thanks for the drop shot wisdom.

Great video thanks!!

This video made me go out and buy some Bomb Shot baits. Can't wait to fish them. :)

That video pretty much covered all the stuff to drop shot, now I just need to slow my fishing down to practice it. 🎣🐟

Great vid, is a #4 gamakatsu ewg too small? Also I use a #2 finesse hook for nose hooking, is that o.k?

@ercly9382

Great question. I have read 2, 1, 1/0, and 2/0 hook sizes. Let me preface that I am a complete beginner, but I bought Gamakatsu 1/0 EWG Finesse hooks today. Tired of trying to figure it out. Weird that it is not mentioned in videos.

Hey John, great video. Quick question for you, a medium/heavy rod isn't too heavy for drop shot?

I use a medium and love it. Would look for something sensitive for sure

If I'm using a little heavier weight, bigger texas rig, bigger hook, ill use a med-hvy/fast for sure. But 1/8oz, 3/16oz, smaller hook, ill use a med/xfast. Its personal preference really, just remember to adjust (hookset, playing the fish, drag) to the different variables as needed depending on rod, line, hook, weight, etc.

So what action is the rod is it medium or medium light

John. Can I do the same drop shot detup with a baitcasrer, medium fast rod?

What size is the EWG hook?

Man, and here I was confident to spool a whole reel of 6lb fluorocarbon and now your saying use braid. I thought that you want a little stretch when dropshotting with 1 or 1/0 hooks so they don't straighten out. I was just heading to the store to get a Loomis 4-8 lb 6' 10" dropshot rod set-up and now I'm questioning myself again! Gah.... Our local fishery has a bunch of smaller to mid sized spotted bass, thats why I thought I'd go so light.

Is your rod a 7'4 medium fast?

Hey John, great vid! what oz weight would you recommend for fishing deep brush piles, like 25ft or more? Trying to catch some of these suspended fish in and around them. Also would you cast to or vertically drop to them? Thanks!!

Hi. How long the fluoro leader if I fish in no more than 10-15 feet deep water?

@JohnCrews

I like a 20-22’ leader

@jeanvaljean1475

@@JohnCrews so basically you want the leader to have the entire depth of the water plus another approximately 10 ‘ meaning that your knot is on the reel. Doesn’t that affect your casting distance? Others keep it just above the reel while others don’t even want the knot to go through the guides when casting and keep it very short like max 3’.

I finally did a successful Rig

John, do you use a swivel and what knot do you use for the hook?

Around bluegill beds, you need big baits. Everywhere else, it’s good to go.
