Best Dropshot Rod

Lots of small ones with a couple medium sized fish. Drop shoting was the best action

Connor Nagy reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods on Roberds Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Got into a few letting a dropshot drift over some main lake humps."

The bass were chasing big schools of bluegill around. Most of the bass were positioned outside the far weed edges on hard bottom. Usually 15-20ft. Started with big hair jigs and jigs but after that bit died down fished a drop shot really slow. Good size and number.

One of my favorite ways during the summer to find both numbers and quality of largemouth bass is to drop shot weed lines. There are vast amounts of good quality weed lines located throughout Lake Minnetonka. This day the weed lines that seemed to produce the best were near hard bottom or deeper water. Locate an area you think will produce and slowly work a drop shot through it. When you find them they tend to be schooled a little bit, so if you get one throw back in on the same spot and you might catch a few more.

Clayton reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula Series Spinning Rods on Deer Lake (2). Additional comments from this report: "Early mornings where the best find the big boulders and drop a half shell on them and have some fun! Anywhere from 3 feet of water all the way out to 30! "

Dean Taylor reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Drop Shot technique and Daiwa Tatula Series Spinning Rods on West Lake Okoboji. Additional comments from this report: "Water temp was 60. Smallmouth were spawn and post spawn phases. Fished rock to sand transitions looking for biggest boulders in 4 to 12 ft of water. Used a slow retrieve with Feider Fly while cruising the flats. Switched to smallie beaver on 1/4 oz jighead and robo worms on dropshot when fish were locked on beds."

Had a great day out on Mille Lacs for the last time this year. Broke my PB with this 5.42. Fish were really all over the place and roaming. Caught the big one on a drop shot after following our bait in. Caught a ton on A Rigs and then pitching at them with drop shots if they wouldn't commit. Already missing these smallmouth bass. Can't wait to get out there next year!

Fished the Student Angler Tournament Trail(SATT) on Mille Lacs on July 27, and got 5th place out of 143, it was really windy so most of the lake was unfishable, but we found sporadic small rock piles, we caught 25.87 pounds for 7, all of our fish besides 1 was caught on a drop shot
