Drop Shot Tips For Hot Summer Bass! (And The Mistakes To Avoid)

This isn't Grandpa's finesse dropshot fishing! Flipping, Pitching, and yes, small profiles and finesse too! The dropshot is more versatile than most angler's realize. If you're only nose hooking finesse worms, you're missing a lot of amazing dropshot opportunities this Summer!

In today's video Tim is uncovering some of the biggest mistakes that anglers make when dropshot fishing. From hook and line positioning, to how you work the baits, to how fish are positioning around structure, this information is gold! The dropshot is far more versatile than we give it credit for and today Tim is showing us how it's done.

Below you'll find links to all his favorite baits, hooks, weights, and accessories. We've also included links to his personal favorite dropshot rods and reels. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
