The CRAZIEST Japanese Dropshot Rig I’ve EVER Used Slays Bass

When the temperatures crash in late fall and winter, a drop shot becomes one of the best ways to keep catching bass, especially with techniques designed to imitate small bait balls, shad, and panfish that group up around heat-holding cover. In this video I’m breaking down a simple yet deadly cold-water drop shot technique, a weird finesse rig that catches bass when nothing else works, and even a wild Japanese-inspired dropshot rig that looks like a tiny bait school underwater. If you’re looking for new ways to trigger reaction bites when bass get tight to hard bottom, wood, docks, marinas, or rock during the winter months, this is a must-try presentation. We’ll talk baits, colors, rigging, weights, rods, reels, line, locations, and retrieves to help you catch more bass all winter long.
