The Dropshot rig is one of the most popular rigs for LRF and ultralight lure fishing. My preferred dropshot rig is as basic as it comes. I use the standard Palomar knot with either a drop-shot type hook or a long-shank, Aberdeen style, depending on what lure I’m intending to use. More

Catching Baillon’s Wrasse
Caught a couple of beautiful Baillon’s Wrasse from the boat using the new C-map Reveal charts to find a suitable hole in the reef. Used a short dropshot rig presenting a small piece of Gulp Slim Sandworm just off the bottom.
Lure Caught Dab
Proud of this one. A lure-caught Dab tricked into taking an unflavoured lure. In this case the lure was the beautiful Hart Rock and Street Micro Fish, fished on a dropshot rig from the boat.
Goldsinny on Plastic
A Goldsinny Wrasse caught on a scaled-down soft plastic lure. The lure here is a cut down HTO Knight Worm, fished on a short drop shot rig. The hook is a red, Decoy SG-3 in size S.
Back on the Dropshot
After last weeks beating administered by the Dutch anglers, I wanted to spend a little time with dropshot on localised fish. 3 fish in 40 minutes. All 20cm+
LRF in Spain
Over visiting my mother in Spain at the moment. Got the chance to fish for a few hours today. Nothing too serious – just a bit of fun with a handful of tackle and a pack of Isome. As ever, my mum caught the best fish of the day! #standard More
Dropshot Black Bream
Dan Sissons with a nice little Black Bream tempted by red Marukyu Isome fished dropshot.
