- čas přidán 3. 03. 2020
- In this video, I test drop shot rigs underwater in an Olympic size swimming pool. I film the action of the drop shot with different weights, baits and leader lengths and give tips and instruction on the best setup, hooks, line, and retrieve for fishing a dropshot offshore for bass. Hope you enjoy!

Underwater reviews are needed for every bait out there. I have yet to use the drop shot but now know how! Thanks!!!
That and you get what you pay for in production value. What I mean by this is cheap baits with a ton of variance in the manufacturing changes how the baits work. I've had a single unit of a make/model kill and the one in the box next to it never catch a fish.
If you could Show the action of the bait and you working rod at same time would be great. So we can see how you are moving rod to make bait move how it does on video.
Erin Bussard was about say same. Cuz then we can see when working with slack line or rod 👍 great series
+1
I'd say the same. A picture in picture in one corner would be enough. Great video anyway.
Would love to see this underwater perspective on Ned rig and shakey head. And great work. This is so much better than any other underwater video I have seen.
Great idea! I’d also love to see the Ned rig and shakey head underwater.
Dude your content is awesome! Straight to the point and not 15 minutes of teasers.
Spot on Deck.....!! Well said!
Real helpful knowing the actual presentations of baits. Allows for much better effect in target. I appreciate you bruh.
Add a view of you working the rod with the under water footage so we can see how what you are doing impacts the bait. Love your videos!!
Really cool video. I’ve never drop shot for bass. But this video has planted some serious interest. Thanks!
Awesome job, Jonny. These videos are getting better and better
All the work you put into these videos, thank you, great stuff.
Extremely well-done video!
This helps me visualize with more clarity and understanding what is happening beneath the surface with my baits.
Thank You!
Good work. Learnt more from this than anything else I’ve watched so far. It would be interesting to see how things change in flowing water
Love the underwater shots! Thanks for putting this together!
Dang I’ve been fishing the drop shot now for 5 years. Thanks so much for the awesome tips. It took me a few years to figure out some of these tips and learned a lot more from this video
one of your best videos yet! loved it!
I really like these vids (along with all the rest of em) keep it up bud. Good stuff
Great video.. I only discovered drop shotting last spring, and was blown away at how well it worked. Great information in this video.. you’ve got a new subscriber!
Excellent views of multiple techniques. What a great perspective. Thank you!
some of the best info on the net, your are doing and showing the things I would do but can't for lack of a pool and camera equipment, thank you brother.
Great video JS! I’m usually not a fan of pool videos ( mainly because of the typical drab commentary) but you always seem to put an element of excitement in all of your videos... lookin forward to the next one. Good luck with your tournament buddy👍🎣
GREAT footage for 2 guys taping a Go-Pro to the end of a pole!! Excellent video, Jonny!!
I really like the z man baits for this. Now I can actually see why I like it so much....it looks like it does in my head. Thank you for your hard work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. You open my eyes on the different leader lengths and also using the French fry on a Carolina rig.
Excellent analysis! Decided to start drop shot fishing this year and this is some great insight, thank you!
I really love all your videos. I have a very analytical & scientific approach to my fishing so your info is always interesting and relevant. I was surprised by many of the learned facts in this video, especially how vertical the baits were in the “video fishing” style. I will certainly be doing more wacky when fishing this way. Loved the floating baits on a casted slow retrieve. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
This is awesome. Just like you mentioned, the way you visualize the bait is different then what is happening.
When you work the baits it would be cool to see 2 frames in the same screen. The bait and the way you are working it
Excellent work! This has been very insightful, makes me actually excited to drop shot more now.
Excellent video! The time and effort you put in testing, creating and editing you series is incredible. You are definitely making me a better with these videos, much appreciated!
Excellent video showing the worms various actions with different weights and leader line lengths. Nice job...
EXCELLENT video. This is quality stuff
I've been avoiding the drop shot for years, but seeing it under water I have a whole new perspective. I can't wait to use it now! Thanks for the great video. That robo worm has great action. Now, I gotta get back to trying to tie this drop shot knot for the 35th time....🤦♂️
Perfect underwater video, I guess the difference of the weight is how easy the weight gets moved with the presentation and how tight that weight pulls the line. Thanks for the always great content!
Awesome video- learned a ton and didn’t expect some of the results.
Love the underwater testing tank. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for these videos. I think your content is awesome!! Please keep it up!
Knowing this information is very helpful. Love it.
As always Jonny, great info! Offer still stands.
These videos are great. Changed my perspective on using a drop shot
That was very informative, thanks for doing this.
Really appreciate your underwater videos!
Love this. I’m new to bass fishing. You are helpful and very informative. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.
You are becoming the next bass professor. Your videos are so good it's insane and every time I watch them I learn so much. I'm right there with you on how you thought a lure would work a certain way and then it didn't (better or worst). Seeing this video is certainly going change up some of my presentations (aka Keitech drop shots). Very good video!
Also me: Even the way you stored the rods in the rack behind you look cool - at a slant. Which now I'm wondering if I have been storing mine wrong - lol.
Dude this video is so good. Thanks for making it! 👍👍👍 3 thumbs up
Very informative video and very well explained! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Jonny! definitely some things to try out...learned a ton.
Excellent work! Very thorough. Subscribed.
Great information! Keep up the great work!
Very very Helpful, thank you!!
Hey man, this is a GREAT video. Thanks for making it. I learned some watching it.
Great informative video thanks Tyler
As always great info! Thanks! 👍🏻
Great way to teach. Videos and explanations are excellent.
Great video. I know more now about drop shots. Thanks Professor. Better light, new hat and the white shirt!!!!! Nice.
Great job young man. Keep up the good work.
I have never learned so much . Excelant video . Great watching you
I am also surprised by the results and think it is counterintuitive. But using my high school education, I’d hypothesize that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And force equals mass x acceleration. Therefore, the heavier the drop shot weight, the greater the rebound force pulling back against the lure as you drag and stop the weight. And because the water simulates a more weightless environment, the result is magnified as the effect of gravity is reduced due to buoyancy. 🤓😳 So as your test demonstrates, it is important to adjust the size of the weight to achieve the desired effect! I’m actually really glad you did this. It will change the way I drop shot fish. 👍🏻
I’m glad I found this channel. ~Subscribed/Liked~Solid content for sure! Keep up the great work!🤟
always good stuff and well worth the time!
Wow! Your video was so informative. I’m a new subscriber and want to thank you for your work. You know what works!
Awesome video! Very informative!
I really enjoyed the under water footage, it definitely showed me how bait looks & reacts when it's worked, I usually use a heavier wait when fishing in deep water & current, I would like to see under water footage of a ned rig or shakyhead!👍 also have learned a lot on your jig videos, that's become 1 if my favorites now! Thank you!
Nicely done. Some very good info !
😊 Awesome video! Thank you for your valuable time and valuable information.
God Bless you and your family brother.
Great information, thank you!!!
Enjoy the methodology and experimentation. Definitely have a niche concept/location that'll produce endless material. I like how its a few baits with multiple changes to the terminal tackle. Really allows for a greater understanding. Biggest takeaway from this video was the pink floating worm. It blended into it's surroundings. Found that to be interesting.
Great information. Your knowledge is amazing.
gold nugget knowledge right here. great video
Great content! underwater jig test! different trailers / weights
Hey man love your videos dude I like how u go in depth and really go out of your way to help us better understand I was wondering if theres any difference in fishing power plant lakes vs other lakes
great information. I learned a lot about drop shoting.
Side note: Love my OG FTM hat, but definitely digging the new lid Johnny!!!
Fantastic video.Thanks for the info.
Really enjoy this series. Seeing similar baits (floating vs sinking) with Ned and Nemo would be interesting. I make a lot of my own soft plastic and leave most without salt so they float. This is great info. For vertical fishing with a floating worm, using a slightly heavier hook on a Texas rig might end up with a more horizontal lure presentation.
Awesome work! Thank you so much.
Thanks. I learned quite a bit!
dude this is great stuff. Thank you!!
Amazing Video 🤩
Great Breakdown" Thanks!
Excellent comparison. Thx.
Ok im fishing dropshot next. Sick video, no problem with the small shakes
This is a very revealing, particularly from a fishing-from-shore perspective, where you[re reeling in from deep to shallow. But I imagine it would be a different perspective (even with the Keitech), fishing from shallow to deep, as it would be from a boat
Thanks I know now that I do like the robo worm for that rig.
Gonna try this drop shot rig today, Thanks and New subscriber
Good content to understand how the drop shot works
FANTASTIC totally surprising
Nice video man...good job
You made a great video. 👍
Thanks for this video. I fish 80% drop shot and try all kinds of baits. Im always wishing I could test in a pool to see what Im actually doing. Drop shot is #1 method of sub-surface bass fishing. If I were challenged with only one option in a competition, I would choose the drop shot.
Great video. Been thinking about trying drop shot for years maybe it's time to make that happen in 2020.
I was very surprised on the vertical fishing. I now know that I need to wacky rig my worms to get the presentation I thought I was trying to achieve!
Very informative, thank you...
great video !!!
Always love your contents. I you may let me ask, it will be nice if you could add a small window how you are putting actions while the main screen showing the underwater footage. I am always curious how the drop shot is reacting when you apply action with your rod. looking forward to your upcoming contents.
Great video!!
great information
Awesome video. One thing I would like to see is a t swivel on the drop shot with different leader lengths going to the worm. In other words, at the T, 6" leader to the worm and a 12" leader to the dropshot from the T. Thanks so much for this!
looking forward to more
Great video
NICE VIDEO BRO !!
Thanks for making that video I normally hook my drop shots 18 to 24 in off the bottom seeing how this works at one foot, and at 4 ft and at 6 in was a big help I will stick to the 18 to 24 in your video shows a great fall and wiggle and the swimbaits works better with the one quarter ounce weight for the technique I'm using this answer many questions thanks a lot
I don't think I hurd you say "umm" 1 time, few edits. Pretty darn good man.
I’d try a small wagon. Low to the bottom. Something w wheels to mount the go pro on. It will be smoother and less jump when trying to film. Keep up the good work. Great info.
