Best Dropshot Reel

Fished from one end of the lake to the other. Caught fish on trees and grassy points rotating baits between a jig, drop shot, and trickworm.

Dragging a drop shot through grass clumps starting to grow in. Fish were cruising around but took finesse to get them to commit.

kt_fishin reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Shimano Vanford Spinning Reel - EOL on Lake Nockamixon. Additional comments from this report: "Caught in 25 ft of water fishing isolated boulders with livescope. Dropped ontop of rock with 1/8th tungsten weight "

Fish were holding on the steep bluff walls in their summer pattern and drop shot was the key. Had multiple big largemouth and smallmouth eat it on the fall. The Daiwa Rebellion 7-0ML is a fantastic drop shot rod with the perfect power and action for this technique.

Cruising around the dock we found cruising spawners. Casted a drop shot to the areas that appeared to be beds. They didn't seem to be locked down. So staying back and making long casts was effective.

Bradley Leuthner reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula LT Spinning Reel - EOL on Oneida Lake . Additional comments from this report: "Just got done with the bassmaster open on Oneida. It was a grind. Had to find rocks mixed in weeds. Really had to slow down. Fished mostly 10 to 18 feet of water."

Jeff Penner reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula MQ LT Spinning Reel on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "Got em on a dropshot up shallow during the post spawn. Lots of smallmouth roam the shallow sand flats with scattered rock when the conditions allow. Using a GLF Dropkick Shad was the right bait to get em to bite"

Adam Radovic reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula MQ LT Spinning Reel on Lake St Clair. Additional comments from this report: "Hot water temps have pushed the Smallmouth into full Summer pattern. Productive depths averaged 16-18ft. Isolated vegetation held groups of similar sized fish, competition was low between fish, and fishing pressure was high. Moving to 1/4oz from 3/8oz unlocked some bites."
