 This is a video you guys have all been wanting and it's over drop shot. Before I go into further more details, I want to see who's an active subscriber. So go ahead and give the video a thumbs up. I'm trying to see who's actually subscribed rather than just fans that are coming to watch my video from my other social media sites. So if you're subscribed to my channel, please go ahead and give the video a thumbs up. It supports me. It motivates me to keep making these videos. So please do so. You can also comment below if you would like. I'm going to go ahead and go over it and I'm going to actually retie it. I'm going to cut it off and everything. I just have a regular Mojo. And the reason why I'm showing this combo is because the price on it is phenomenal. So I know pretty much mostly everyone can afford it. I have a few combos, but this is just the Mojo Bass Drop Shot ride. So it's fairly inexpensive. It's around the 90 buck range. So most of you guys can afford it. And the reel on there is only around $35, $40 bucks and that's an Abigurcia or a spinning reel. So as you can tell, I have it on braid, I have it on 20 pound braid. And this is very important that you guys are going to need to know what we're doing is we're tying a uni to uni knot because you're going to want fluorocarbon. You're not going to want to be dropping the braid down on. So the fluorocarbon, this is you're going to need to pair it upright. So I recommend 20 pound braid and 10 pound to uni to uni knot to 10 pound fluorocarbon. If you go like to uni to uni knot, 12 pound fluorocarbon, what it actually do is that fluorocarbon will cut through the braid. And I know that sounds stupid, but it's just how it is. The uni to uni knot will not stay tight and everything and it just cut right through. So that's why pairing it up so important. So I recommend 20 pound braid and 10 pound fluorocarbon. So let's go ahead and get this started. Alright guys, so what I got, like I said, I got the 20 pound braid, which is right here. That's a 20 pound braid. And I got 10 pound fluorocarbon. Got around 12 foot of line for the fluorocarbon and then the braid is already split on the reel. So what you're going to want to do, I'm going to try to explain this to you. I don't know if it's going to work out on this video, but if it doesn't, then I can totally make another video with like a rope or something thick where I can actually show you and you guys can see because I don't think you're going to be able to see this. So what you're going to do, see how you have that end of the fluorocarbon with the braid. I'm going to go ahead and start over. See here's the braid, here's the fluorocarbon. You're going to want to line them up like so. That's probably a little too long, so there you go, like that. And first, you're going to take the one end, which is the fluorocarbon end, and it's just like a uni knot. So you're going to wrap it around like that, and you're going to, if you've tied a uni knot, then you know what to do from here, you just go, go ahead and then wrap it around around five times. I'm not going to tighten that down all the way, but do the same thing on the other side. Now you're going to want to wet your line. This is where most people mess up. If you're going to, if you're going to cinch it down, then what it's going to do is it's going to put so much pressure on it, it's just going to break, or it might not break right now, but it might break when you're hooking the fish. So you're going to want to get it very slow, right there, make sure it's tight and everything. There you go. So then you have your braid right here, phasing your fluorocarbon. So now what you're going to do is just cut your taggings. Don't cut, I don't cut them too short. Just to be safe. You're going to want to leave a tad, so there you have your uni-di-uni knot right there. And I cut this down, or I take a lot of line off to start off with, but that doesn't, that doesn't mean for the fluorocarbon, that doesn't mean that I'm going to need it that long. It all depends on what type of rod you're using. Right here on the Mojo Bass, as you can see, the eyelids are a little more open, you know? The uni knot can fully go through there without kind of fraying it, or ticking it, or any type of deal where it would want to break the line. But then if I have like a micro guide rod, then you're going to want to make your fluorocarbon a little bit shorter. So what we'll do is, I'm not going to do it on this one because I know the Mojo Bass is alright, it's alright for the Mojo Bass, but you don't want it to go through your eyelids where the uni-di-uni then uni-di-uni knot is, so let's go ahead and reel up some of the braid. There you go, the uni knots, about at the end of the pull, and take the fluorocarbon, say alright, that's where you're going to want it. So I'm going to go ahead and go cut it right there, and I would say that's about three and a half to four foot liter. And that's free if you're using micro guides, that's just a quick tip because it can really mess you up. It messed me up during a tournament, I wasn't thinking, it was actually on World Finals. I went to Hookshead of Fish and it just broke me off and I was wondering why and then I was thinking, oh, it's because of that uni-di-uni knot spraying through my eyelids, I mean there's not thinking about it. There's just a little quick tip right there. So micro guides, shorter, if you have to have a regular rod where you think it can go through your right, then you can just use a longer leader for your fluorocarbon. The next part is the hook. The hook I'm using is just one of these trocar drop shot hooks, simple as it gets. Got mine at Oakwood Big Tackle. So that's the hook I'm using, which is pretty great, and it all depends on what I'm going to be doing. If I want to drop it more in brush, sometimes I'll use a rebarb hook, which is what I had on at the moment. This is a rebarb hook, as you can tell right there, has the barb or the rebarb at the top. Those are good as well, but if I'm just lip hooking it, these trocar drop shot hooks work pretty well. And the weight I'm using, I like the circle weights more than just the regular ones like that. I prefer these. I feel like it drops faster. Just personal preference. I'm going to use a pretty heavy one if I'm in the wind, because if you drop shot in that 30-foot water, you don't want your boat, even if your boat's pushing around and everything, you want to be able to stay on this fish. Starting off with tying the hook on, the only knot I really tie is the uni knot. I'll be sure to make a video on it. Most of you guys are going to tie the polymer knot, which that's totally fine. You can tie that. But personal preference. I like the uni knot. You haven't seen uni the uni knot now. So you're going to want to pull a decent bit of line out, because you're going to want that tagging to be long, because you're going to want to put that weight on. So I'm just going to go ahead and tie my basic uni knot. I'll be sure to make a video on the uni the uni knot, or uni knots, because I definitely think it's the best knot out there. There's some studies showing, that's some line companies, show what not. Well, it's the best. So all right, I got my tagging right here. I can tell it's fairly long. I got my hook right here, tied onto my pull. This is one of the most important steps. You're going to want to get your tag in, take your tag in, go back through the eyelid. And why am I doing this? If you don't go through the eyelid, your hook can be facing sideways, it can be facing down. If you go through the eyelid, what it's going to do is your hook's going to stay. All you're simply going to do is just drag it back through. So as you can tell right there, you see how the hook's pointing straight up, that's exactly what you want. Your hook's pointing sideways, or if it's pointing down, you did something wrong. But if you put the line back through, what it's going to do is it's going to keep that hook pointing up, and that's exactly what you want. It's perfect right there. So lastly, I'm going to throw on the weight. I'm going to cut my leader from my weight a little bit shorter to about a foot and a half, two foot. Put that on real quick. You can either just put it on or you can tie it on. And for you guys that don't really like fishing or you're saying this is probably not useful to me, I would totally use this in a pond. Drop shot's great for a pond, guys, really, really great. So don't think it's not. All right, so tie my weight on there, cut that a little bit shorter. There you go guys, that's my drop shot right there. I got about a foot and a half leader from the weight there. And just depending on where the fish are staged, I can cut it. I might run it a little bit shorter later on in the day, like I could put it about right there to be good as well. But as you can tell, this is how you know you've done it successfully, is your hooks straight up. Of course, your weight's at the bottom, but just be sure to put your line back through. That's a very important step. There you go, guys. There's a drop shot right there. I'm looking pretty solid on, like I said, my Mojo Bass drop shot rod, which is really great. If you guys are on a budget, definitely really great rod to have. I'm actually on two of them. And then my reel is the Aura S by Abra Garcia, and that's really great on cost as well. So if you guys are just wanting an overall inexpensive combo, this is definitely a great combo. And this is the one that I love. I mean, it's really inexpensive and you can't go wrong with it. I'm going to stop rambling, guys. Let's go catch some fish.
