John Murray is a Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour tournament angler who started out on the West coast perfecting finesse techniques like the dropshot rig before most had even heard of it. As it's evolved, the dropshot has continued to be a great finesse fishing tactic for pressured bass, certain weather events and clear water, but it's also branced out into other areas, like punching. In this bass fishing class video seminar, John Murray shares what he's learned over the years about different ways to utilize a dropshot, how rod selection and hook selection correlate, hook selection, rigging style based on cover and lure action, and more. Learn how to catch bass on a dropshot rig, adjustments to make if you're not catching bass and some tricky tips to help get a few more bites (or land a few more bites).
