Drop shot

We have selected rods suited to drop shot fishing from various brands (Mitchell, Fox Rage, Savage Gear, etc.), power ratings, lengths and for all budgets. With a solid carbon tip for increased sensitivity or a coloured tip for better visibility, these rods have a specific action that will allow you to control your rig as effectively as possible while feeling even the slightest bite from a wary predator coming to take your soft lure.

Drop shot fishing is the go-to technique for working precise spots. The rig with a weight resting on the bottom and a hook lifted off the bottom allows you to really insist near obstacles and tempt predators. It is also the technique to use when revisiting a spot after the bites have slowed down, to catch perch and zander that have become wary.

If you have any questions about choosing a rod, rigs suited to your fishing area, the type of line (monofilament, braid, fluorocarbon) to use on your reel, do not hesitate to contact us via our website, by phone or by visiting our shop Ardent Pêche.
