Best Dropshot Rod

Brock Williams reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "Rotating between multiple boulders in 10-15 fow was what got the bigger bites."

I was pre-fishing for a Wednesday night tournament on Lake Erie out of Buffalo and ended up going to a spot I had a lost of history with this year. Marked a lot of fishing chasing chasing bait on my 2D sonar. Dropped down the baby z too that was soaked in BaitFuel and this 4.5lber ate it right away. Big fan of throwing the small drop shot hooks, seems like you lose way less fish!

dzickus reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods on Powers Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Was able to find bass both shallow, 5-7FOW, and deeper, 10-14FOW, on points. More of a dead stick approach, and patience was rewarded with a good day of none too big but had good number caught which made a good morning out. "

J.Somers reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and G. Loomis NRX+ Spinning Rods on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "Drifting reefs in 20-25. Smallies were coughing up good sized perch and minnows. Used a fairly long dropper (~20”) and the small soft jerkbait outproduced the maxscent for once."

WhiskyFisherman reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and G. Loomis NRX+ Spinning Rods on Lake Tillery. Additional comments from this report: "Bass seem to still be on the full range from main lake points to mid-creek channel and into the back of creeks. Saw some crappie on bed, with bass nearby. Caught a few bass on laydowns, but more seemed to be in 6-8’ of water along channel swings. "

First real cold front of the year with moderate winds. Tried for a while punching and frogging around pads, matted grass, and algae mats with no success. Moved out to the main lake and fishing humps with submerged grass with a drop shot. Managed to land about 20+ fish but nothing over 13 3/4" long.

Caught a decent smallmouth on the weekend on a Great Lakes Finesse drop kick shad. By far one of my favourite drop shot baits to throw. Casting to fish on livescope is so much fun.

Fred Truax Outdoors reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula XT Spinning Rods on St. Lawrence River. Additional comments from this report: "Near Ogdensburg, found deep rock pile, roughly 40 feet of water. Kept slowly drifting over pile and caught many of these 4-5lb small mouth. "
