Iaconelli Dropshot Fishing in 3 Steps Tutorial Video Bass Fishing Video

This video is for people who want to know how to catch bass on a dropshot rig. The dropshot rig is usually fished on light line, but is somewhat unique in that the bait (usually a small artificial plastic bait) is fished above the weight (usually a small ball weight or pencil/cylinder weight).

1. Neutral action - don't move the bait, the bait will move, naturally
• All bodies of water have some current that will move the bait
• No one is completely still, even without intentionally moving, you will move the bait
2. Sweep Hookset
• Don't set the hook like Denny Brauer jerking a fish out of heavy cover
• Sweep your rod to the side and step back
• You're using small hooks, like VMC Spinshot Dropshot Hooks, you don't need the strong hookset like with a heavy gauge hook
3. Use your electronics in deeper water
• Turn up your sensitivity on your depth finder
• Increase your ping speed
