Rigging a WEEDLESS Drop Shot (Without Texas Rigging It)
A drop shot rig is a great way to impart lively action to soft plastics while staying in one place. Nose hooking the bait is the traditional method of rigging but when fished in weeds, the exposed hook can be a problem. Texas rigging on a drop shot can be done to prevent this but the extra shaft length needed for Texas rigging leaves the bait with less action.
GEAR USED
• WORM – Yamamoto Shad Shape Worm:
• HOOK – VMC Ike Approved Neko Hook, size 4:
• WEIGHT VMC Ike Tungsten Cylinder Weight:
• KEEPER – Rapid Fishing Solutions Hook All:
• ROD – Daiwa Tatula Elite AGS Spinning Rod, 7’1″ Medium:
• REEL – Daiwa Procyon LT 3000 Spinning Reel:
• LINE (mainline) – Sufix 832, 10-pound:
• LINE (leader) Sufix Advance Fluorocarbon, 8-pound:
• SUNGLASSES – Costa Del Mar Reefton:
Wired2fish’s Mitch Anderson keeps a drop-shot rod handy at all times and loves fishing the setup in and around weeds for bass. His solution for the most action while still staying weedless is a combination of nose hooking and tex-posing. When fished in grass, a quick pop of the rod will often free the bait but can leave it sagging vertically with an unrealistic action.
Mitch uses a Rapid Fishing Solutions Hook All ( to keep the bait horizontal on the hook at all times.

But to do it properly get a 1/0 cover shot finesse hook,or whatever size ya need for your presentation
Good vid, I was taught that’s what used bobber stops are for! 👍🤷♂️🎣
Thank you so much
Interesting, thanks for the video, keep em coming
So late with this set up. I'm sure 90% of anglers and this country had done it for years beside the dude in the video
The key phrase in this setup is "a little more weedless" than a nose hook. There is still an open loop shape where grass/weeds/brush can get caught. Texas rig is still far superior in even a little vegetation.
Just use a finesse hook with a barb,,, you can texas rig it and it works ten times better!
A lot of trouble for nothing in my opinion. I just Texas rig with a Robo rebarb or G finesse and I'm good to go
This is an amazing tip that most folks don't know about. I was skeptical about it's hookup percentage at first, but I've done it like this for a while now and it is not a problem at all. (Minus the disk anyway. Not sure how much that will affect it)
Another great tip fellas.👍
Making those discs for free with an old school hole punch and the household’s old (sometimes stained about to be recycled anyway) Tupperware, PRICELESS! Thanks Matt Stefan ✌️
Who else been doing it like this the whole time anyway?
I'm actually not impressed. I don't think I've ever said that to myself about a W2F vid. Hookup percentage cannot be as high. And the plastic ring will make landing percentage worse since the bait caitslide down. Leaves the hook no room to bite
Love a drop shot video
What’s your hook set like?
