Next one is lure retrieve direction. Casting and working lures with tide, against tide or across tide. I’ve always debated that one so thought I’d test it.

Thanks man. I love this testing stuff. It’s forcing me to do things differently and if I accidentally stumble across something that works then what’s not to like.

Definitely worth a try. And you can still fish another rod at same time and double the chances.

another great informative video. Food for thought, I'm going to drift a soft plastic from my kayak next time I go off Hayling.

Another entertaining and eye opening video.
A similar method to trolling i guess, with the exception that you're letting the tide do the work instead of the engine.
Thanks for sharing matey
👍🏻

​​@BassLureFish nps mate,many bass boat fishers only jig or cast on the drift the static rod will get you extra fish to the boat , forsure speed matters when drifting even in deep water i use a sea anchor to get the speed down at times , look forward to your next uploads .tightlines....

I think they call that dead sticking. Can be deadly in right circumstances so definitely worth a try. Others will know better than me.

Thanks mate for those words. Yes it’s a sand bank so no snags. The lure is a medium sized sidewinder skerries Pro. Not sure if weight. But I had a 4oz lead on a sliding boom on both the static and active retrieve. Hope that helps. Any other Qs do shout.

Congratulations on the video. I’m guessing the bottom you’re fishing is sandy, because if it had rocks the sinker would get snagged. Can you tell me how much the lure you use weighs? Thank you very much.

Thanks Darren, really appreciate you sharing that. 👍 I hadn’t come across “drifting softs” before filming this, so that’s really interesting. Our aim was simply to test a static rod against an actively retrieved lure under the same conditions, rather than claim the technique was new. I’ll definitely be experimenting more with those drift speeds and appreciate you taking the time to explain it. Tight lines! 🎣

Hi what your doing with the static rod is called drifting softs you can drift two rods static and cast fish one rod or sometimes i do this 1 livebait one soft static and cast one, the best drift speed for soft plastics is 1 to 1.5mph for bass you can also troll softs at this speed for bass. its well used method in many types of fishing, it works well for bass in shallow water or when the bass are high in the water, ragot hybrid is A very good lure the static rod, tightlines I look forward to your next uploads...
