    Many fishing video don’t show the set up (leader, hook and etc). Here is one very good example and informative
  • @badcrispy3933
    The close up shot! What! The effort you put into the production is changing the game. YT Angler of the Year bud.
  • @user-rf8hr3mm6w
    Nick your the man,I absolutely love your videos they couldn’t be more informative 😊
  • @josephrezek8481
    Great video! The YT fishing community needed another educator. And you might be the best.
  • @mengkhang1037
    Keep up the pro tips. I grew up watch everything your family has done. Always love the info.
  • @davidtisch5237
    I need lots of practice on drop shops and neg rigging this summer
  • @bradray
    Nick, just wanted to thank you for this exceptional video. It was just packed with useful info. I just got back from fishing around North Bay, Ontario, and the fishing was incredibly tough. The drop shot was key for me, keeping it up off the silty bottom. Thanks again for your content.
  • @Matt-33
    Nice tip with the hair tie to stow the weight... mine's always dangling in the bottom of the boat. Love drop-shotting - been pounding the smallies with gulp on down imaging
  • @jerrystigall6560
    Great video on a great rig. Love a Palomar knot. I use it in every case I can due to its line strength. I'm rigging up a couple of rods right now for my next walleye run. Thanks!
  • @mikecollins8241
    To all those crying about the Forward Facing Sonar, guess what? You can do this with old school 2D, a flasher, or even just casting from the bank!
  • @blonko86
    You're a genius, Nick! BTW I like the VMC Spinshot hooks.
  • Nice work! I just switched my kid's (ages 6, 4, 2) rods to this setup instead of a slip bob now that we're deeper. My son and daughter caught one on the first cast then we didn't have a bite. It was a good time though! 9:26
  • @tdwz1652

  • First-time viewer. Just want to say great video. You go into some great detail and how to. Thanks for all the info, I left smarter than when I started. 👍
  • @5199John
    Good video, Nick. Glad to see you out doing somethings on your own! Nice job.
  • @gregbeebe1317
    Great video and instruction. I love that you list your gear as well. I am going to give this rig up a try next weekend.
  • One of the best videos I've seen for the drop shot technique tips. Thank-you!
  • @crazycarlsju
    The tip about using a hair scrunchy (as my daughter calls it) to hold the weight is genius!!!
  • @user-un6to6sr6z
    Nick: Your video's are excellent and very detailed. IF I ever get the chance to fish with you, I WOULD! Thank you for all you hard work and dedication to this channel. From Indiana
