Drop Shot Lures

Drop shot fishing

Drop shot fishing is a very popular fishing method among predatory fish anglers. Especially when fishing for perch, this technique can lead to mass catches. Pikeperch and trout are also high on the target fish list for this type of fishing.

In addition to the dropshot rods, spinning reels and other dropshottackle, you also need dropshot reels; You still need fancy drop shot tackle so that nothing stands in the way of a great fishing trip.

Drop Shot Baits for active predator fishing

When drop shot fishing, you can use various soft lures. They are available in various designs, sizes and colors. For example, small soft lure or jigs with a slim body shape are recommended.

In addition, the drop shot lures differ in their tail shape. There are models with a large paddle tail, which provides a lot of action under water and generates strong pressure waves. There are also V-shaped rubber tails or so-called pintails. These no-action shads only cause the slightest vibrations when actively fishing. The more active the predatory fish are, the larger the rubber tail of the lure should be. If the predators are lazy and lethargic, less bait action is required. Accordingly, you should take their behavior and the time of year into account when choosing the right food.

Creature baits should not be missing from any tackle box when dropshotting, as they can be a real guarantee of success. Soft crabs and soft worms are right at the top of the predators' menu. The lifelike animal replicas have movable claws, legs and fins, which magically attract the predatory fish.

Drop Shot Baits rigged correctly!

In order for you to perform with the Drop Shot Bait when fishing, you should use the right rig. The artificial hook is mounted on special dropshot hooks, offset hooks, wide gap hooks or worm hooks. The hook size depends on the body size and the predatory fish to be expected. You can mount the softbait on the hook using a nose piece by simply pulling the single hook through the head area of the rubber. The tip of the hook then emerges from the rubber, which is located in the hook bend itself.

The hole hook is firmly attached to the Dropshot leader so that the hook protrudes from the leader line. A Fluorocarbon line is recommended as the leader material, as it is almost invisible under water.

Finally, there is a dropshot lead at the end of the rig. This lead can be mounted variably on the line, allowing you to adjust the distance between the hook and the bottom of the water at any time. This allows you to react to the predators' behavior at any time and offer the bait where the predators are feeding.
