The infamous Drop Shot

The Drop shot has become one of the most versatile techniques in bass fishing. It is used across the country and can be fished shallow, deep and everywhere in between. The drop shot is also a great technique to use when the fishing gets tough. In this post we are going to tell you the ins and out of what you need and in the video Conrad will show you the most effective way to rig the drop shot. If you are in Arizona, this is also a great choice for Lake Pleasant as the water is clear and deep. In clear water I like to use a strait tail worm and in dirtier water I opt for the curly tail. If the fishing is tough you can go with a 4.5 or 5 inch as opposed to the 6 or 7 inch. If you like fishing our warm Summer nights here in Arizona, opt for the bigger options but overall the 6 inch strait tail is our go to. If you are new to fishing in Arizona and would like to schedule a guided bass fishing trip the link is below just above the video. Below is the instructional video and below that we have listed the equipment that we recommend to help you get started fishing the drop shot. Good luck and tight lines!
