LAST CAST Ultra Light Lure Fishing Drop Shotting e29

right morning and welcome to last cast today we're going to be using various techniques I mean the target species today is perch although on our last outing it would drop shots I managed to catch myself master all their tension which was a surprise but that won't happen Adele singing again I think that was a once-in-a-lifetime job the idea today as I say is we're going to be using very ultra light tackle drop shots in tiny little jig laws and we've got some small spinner baits and the good old favourites of tiny little spinners as well gonna talk through sort of the basics to start with really what you need is first off if you're looking at the rod I mean this particular one is savage gear black the need to be a reasonable length sort of 7 8 foot fish because you're gonna become troll in the rod casting weight on this one is 2 to 12 grams just gives you a bit more versatility if you want to then put on a spinner or you know a little jig or a law or something what it would always recommend and against personal preference is get something with a bit of a colored tip on looks a little bit like a feeder rod reason for that is that if you're in say as we are a canal lock sometimes when you're on the bottom it's it's hard to feel through the rod but by having a different coloured tip you can physically see where your you are because you really need to be sort of fishing down on the bottom so again personal preference Bob's the cameraman is you're up there you can see no cord sip on the end of it but it's a game personal preference on what you want to do with it and again the sort of weights on the rods can be anything from sort of 0 to 5 grams to to whatever you want but I wouldn't really say it's a good idea to go too much above to the 12 gram ash because you then losing that sensitivity which ultimately is it's telling you what you've got on that as I say savage gear black 7-foot for 2 to 12 grams great little rod love it I've then got on that tiny little Shimano reel I think it's a solstice - 500 not sure whether that's still in existence it's one about for donkey's years but it's been a good little real to me on that we've then got on mine I tend to use the Power Pro and this is 20 pound power Pro and I've gone for the I think it's slick a toss like Power Pro slick or something like that it just easier to cast and light you don't really need it or put eyes 20 but it's the old adage like I said in our prank videos that if you get snagged up people chance to get anything and also if you pick up a pike you've got a good chance of getting it as well going on to the rigs I mean you can buy the rigs ready-made I mean to start with I mean we only started doing this back into this pike season this winter and I bought a couple of ready-made rigs that you can buy on a little spool etc probably worth doing that if you starting out because it then gives you some idea as to what it's all about but also the added advantages have now got myself a little rig spool so when I tie my rigs I can just put them on there and put it in your pocket I mean literally what you see on the table that's my bits and pieces little lower traces which I'll talk through in a bit this literally is it so everything's in your pockets couple of sizes of forceps a perch and if I pick up a pack by accident you box a tackle I tend to use a little trout net again just sticks in your pocket very very easy very simple very straightforward the rig tend to use round about 8 pound fluorocarbon you have the little drop shot weights which of the slider on them so that you can slap them on and adjust the depth etc the hook which is tied into the line again I just use a power more not there on this particular one I've got these I think the mustard got those off AGM I think it was a GM products website a little tip then when you tiny rigs is don't do anything first thing to do is tie your you hook into it so if you get yourself length of fluorocarbon I don't know a couple of three feet long about mid to two-thirds of the way up get your hook which is a little offset hook tie it in we're using a Palomar knot which is pretty straightforward and that way it doesn't move etc the reason you don't do anything else is until you've tied the hook in you don't know which way it's going to sit on the line you know you could tie it and put you open and then you go it the wrong way around it needs to sit off from the hook so it's sorry from the weight so you've got it sitting like that so tied the Palomar knot once you've done that and you know which way the hook sitting you then going up to the other end just tie in a hoop and then on the other end you slide it on your weight which just literally slides on and then pulls tight onto your rig I have a little flip on there so that you can just take your earrings on and off and then literally that's it you're ready to go get your little bass and it literally is you know going on there as though it were a bait so you actually put it on the hook like you would a maggot or something on to the end and then there you go little points on the little things tend to not use much above a couple of inch and another tip is that the softer the the rubber is the better action you're going to get in the water so it's worthwhile having a look around as far as sort of the mainstream stuff goes you can get that unusual websites etc but a lot of this stuff as you can see on the table you know the little cheeks and all the rest of it tensa lights a ghost a bit more of a specialist website and a lot of the get-well all the gear that you can see in front of you is supplied by Alan over at a GM products but don't have a shop it's just all on the website that you go on the net a GM products you'll find it dangerous website because there's so much on there and you'll spend a penny and then you spend another and then you'll spend another and it will keep adding up but some fantastic gear on there and he's you know if you don't know what it is that you're looking for you know ping out on an email and you know I'm pretty sure you can sort your ass the other thing that's quite good on this website is that with a lot of the products there'll be a picture at the end that'll show you the size of the products either rigged up on a little jig as this one is or rigged up as a as a drop shot and usually with the five pence piece next to it so what it does is it gives you real good real life picture as to how big or small it is etc and there's everything on there from the drop shots to the rigs I mean you know we use the what we call that traces from there as well just some tiny little ones think they're about 18 pound breaking strain really sort of hair strength but you you want to be doing that if you drop shots in your on your fluorocarbon if you're then going on to putting on a little spinner or a little jig or whatever I would always advise putting on a very light wire trace as I say the ones that we use they're off Allen and they're about 18 pound breaking strain but they're literally like the reason for that is that if this perch they're nine times out of ten they'll be pike there and the last thing you want to do again hook up a pike with one of those and then leave that in it so just by putting on a little minor trace you know you're there and you know what you're doing tend to prefer personally the I think the column shaft throws laws just a personal preference since you've had more on it etc now these can be rigged as I say as a drop shot or on a little jig and a little hook there as you can see again these just read just to give it an extra bit of color again off off AGM and and that really is it your other option then as the good old spinner time the little spinners I mean they go down as small as you know the sort of zero size which again you need the very light tackle for to be able to cast those if you've got you know serious Pike tackle you're just not going to be able to cast those out what I've done again with a couple of these that we got off Allen is that I just had a little bit of color to it myself so that was just a pure silver little spinner literally what I've done is bit of red paint stripe on their bitter red paint on the shanks of the hook just gives you that extra little bit of color and other options which you probably getting up to the biggest stuff and you really need to know that there's some bigger perch there because you will start to pick up pike with things like this but sign the little spinner baits the really a small you know well put together things real good for churning up if you if you're searching out a bigger area we're going look at the little spinner baits and go through that but it is really lightweight and literally as I say I've got my extra wire traces and my fluorocarbon if I need to tie any rings washed them out and about made boxer toys which literally is more White's swivels hooks jellies rubbers whatever you want to call them so that you can use them on the jigs or you can just use them on the drop shot and then I've got some actually sets up um you know the little jigs etc from there and then my spinners and that's it reel a couple of sizes of forceps that's it off you go right what we're gonna do now is we're gonna start off on the canal and see if we can't get a few perch for you and show you out they go we'll start off doing it on the drop shot and then see how we progress with that ultimately what will then do is we'll move on to probably I'm gonna go on the little jigs and again keep you up to date with our we do with that and then later on in the day we'll probably move on to the little spinners and you know see how we do with that and then we got a bit of a comparison personally if I'm targeting the feature like a lock or something along those lines where you've got a we'd better want that type of thing drop shots always good because you can literally keep it in the kill zone and you know where you're at and what you're doing if you move an item tip sort of open water so you're on the canal and you've just usually drop shot and you've gone through one of the locks and you've met a few perch out you then walking up to the next drop shot it's probably an idea to put on a jig tiny little jig or a spinner or a spin about because you can then cast as you're walking up and you're covering more water that way if you hit into some perch and you know exactly where they are and up against the bank or whatever again strip the put the drop shot back on it's a two-second job and then get to the next lock drop shot back in and off you go we're gonna do the canal we'll look here because we've got three we literally got the river the canal and then alike so we'll get them do a bit of filming on the canal see what we come up with once we've done that we'll then progress onto the lake and see what we can come up with in there and if we have time we might even move onto the river and see what we can do with that right here we are on our first lock again what we're looking for is perch always look for the features things like steps obviously the perch can get in behind there and hide and then just ambush everything so you're looking for the features I've got this set so I'm pushing probably bout six inches off the bottom again with the setup you've got you can undo the weight and move it up and down so you can you know adjust the depths that you're doing and literally you've got the only thing can see the tip there but you've got the the weights right on the bottom and literally all you doing is just empowering a bit of movement to it the idea is not so I get around and have it jumping all over the place because if you imagine that's wiggling around down there like a little fish and you've got it right in front of the perch so you just jiggling it about a little bit slight movements what people tend to do is I get all over the place you can cast it out and then work it back and jiggle it again but the whole idea is that it's probably an idea when you first do it when you really set it off do it in some water where you can see it and just play around or even in the bath whichever then just play around with the rod and see what the empowers the action as I say that's when the softer the lure is the more chance you've got of getting that movement in it so here we go and let's see what we end up with just fishing up against these steps at the moment see what we come up with we've got these locks open at the moment so we've got to fear before but usually when the locks are closed don't be worried about fishing in the closed lock because to be honest we've caught I'll have a lot of perch over the years in locks when they're closed the fish go in there and tend to be in there out of choice it's safe for them etc so don't ever be concerned about fishing a closed lock you know pack out of them it's gonna move up and down this Bank a little bit here again empowering very little movement to it see I'm can't feel it but I can see the tip just of the colored end and I'm literally just gonna work it up and down this this Bank very slowly you know no rush I'm gonna do it different way this time now numbers just gonna flick it out you can see I'm fishing about six inch off the bottom a little thing there and then just flick it out over the other side there and then I'm gonna work it back towards me slowly let it go down you know it's on the bottom and then literally take up the slack and then you just again watching the tip working it back along the features so in this instance back along the lock gates just putting the pulse into it so it's jiggling around again I think to watch the tip rather than the feel of it depends which way around you want to do just take up some of that slack again different angle do their price when you do in their canal is if you notice I never go and stand up at the edge because no matter how deep the water is the fish can always see you coming but I stand them back the amount of times you'll catch em where your feet would be right up against the blocks etc and why the first you playing ball today this luck normally brings us a few out but then again as I said before it's normally closed game you know you could spend half an hour or so just working a particular lock sometimes worth changing you your laws around as well some days the like pink sometimes are like those gyros luminous and lemony colored ones it's fine it's something that you come through with them that you start to catch on fight with lower fishing you know we tend to catch on the ones you prefer because you use them more right i'm just fishing the album lock gates now you feel your way along the bottom then as you can feel the seal and then little drop-offs trick is just to play it over those with the virtual sit under them when you will get snagged but it's a rarity because you're moving so slowly you can you can feel that that's just the bottom there say weed three weeks ago we were fishing this and I had myself a tent on the drop shot with only little one but it was certainly a bit of a strange one I'm saying - Bob - cameraman if this is a perch it's a big one and then up it came a little green tent that just shows you obviously thought it was a worm Bob in a longer bond which is really what you're trying to demonstrate here with the perch its features you know came out in the middle but you've got more chance up against the edges here which is what I'm just doing its feeling it on the bottom and again you can adjust the depth right we've tried this lock normally it's a good one for us but if a one of the gates is open so that's probably making the difference nothing showing there not even a knock so what we're gonna do now is gonna have a walk down the canal to a bridge that we've fished a few times and it's darker underneath so we'll see if we can find ourselves a few perch there we get no joy there then we're gonna head up to the next lock and what we'll probably do is put on some little jigs and spinners and fish some of the open water on the way up and then revert back to the old drop shots and see what we get for you so we'll head off down the bank now and see if we can get something from under the bridge yes there we go success at last yeah let's just hit it up on the old little market yep there we go and we're into a fish oh it's a nice bit that's than that job fish mate and we're in go that for a pitch right there we go nice little perch lifts are you people there you go see the little calf goes in its mouth nice fish it's giving back in and let him swim on yep that was done the canal without the that nice fish and we've had a few little uns and bits and pieces so it's a bit there's a lot of color in it's a bit chocolatey so what we're going to do is we're going to head off back down now have a break and then we're gonna hit the lake this afternoon and see whether we can come up with some more in there it's a lot clearer in there the nice bream just swimming past now I don't like these things they're so light off down there and we'll catch up with you on the lake later see you soon all right first cast and nice little perch look another that all their same as we were using this morning the shelves but a little pink one so it looks like a little worm on the Red Hook I'm going that really need the knackers is that small get it back in tiny little pom yeah remember how bad first cast on the lake let's see if we can get another one very weighted yes / - that yep oh pretty big bank as well right I won't normally have lifted that one but probably couldn't see it on camera there's a big pike came out the corner after it and normally alder nested it out but as you can appreciate it in what the pike to get it so there we go again I'm not a nice little pinky it's a beautiful color the marks on that you can pick it up and again on the little pinky let's put it back in right we've just gone for a wander around and we've come back before we went we've put a camera in there in this little weather water's coming in little Eddy that's where we have the perch at the bank nearly got and we put a camera in underwater and I'm just going to drop this in front of it now see whether we can get some action underwater which would be great but let's see what happens especially my now a few under they actually under the water stuffed with them down there on this fund fishing the crabs off the pier loads of hit now that loads of wax there but they're not taking it down so what I'm going to do is I'm just gonna put on a smaller jig and then put it back in front of the camera again see what happens I've gone for a little one inch instead of a three inch relax again from Allen over it's a GM so I want let's see what you little relax champ does this time should look good in front of the camera if nothing else yeah I'll put that one on hi yep there we go market purchase there we go it's a bit of a better one nice little lower whoops-a-daisy there we go tell me that all the little golden spinner put that back and see if we can get a bigger one right well we've come to the end of the day we've it's been a hard day but it's been a good day we've concentrated mainly today on drop shotting as we said and the little pink and the little bright lime green loss of you know worms have should have saved on the basis for us so we don't get there meant to sort of cover other principles as well but I think what we'll do is we'll do another session where we concentrate on little micro jigs and then we'll have another one with concentrate on sort of micro spinners again targeting the perch and then that way we've got a bit of a comparison so really just to say thanks for watching and if you liked it subscribe and we'll catch you next time on last cast little tip when you tie in your rigs forgot what we're saying that little tip them Anita thought what's a fish then mmm moongra sing with the canal if you get smacked easy to get round the other side and try and get it else work these what gates see what's there mmm thinks remembers when you come to where it says the sill it goes down by about another three or four fours so there's a good spot for perch to sit that's where little moss on the side of it why is it sound I've just coughed maybe that's
