This video isn’t trolling. We are drifting.

Hello Angelo. We weren’t trolling in this video. Just drifting over a sandbank with the engine off. The static rod is just placed in a rod holder. V easy and simple. As long as tide is running reasonably hard (say two days either side of springs) there is no need to retrieve.

Good morning, my name is Angelo and I am writing to you from Italy. I would like to know in detail how you make the lead trolling mount, as well as at what cruising speed you go. I look forward to your reply. Greetings

Interesting. Yep I see that. Thanks for insight man. How long to pause though I wonder

I think static is much longer in the strike zone.

🎣 Is "doing nothing" the ultimate pro move? 👇I honestly thought working the lure would win by a mile, but the fish clearly preferred the lazy approach. Are we all just overworking our lures for no reason?Reply with TEAM WORK IT or TEAM LEAVE IT and tell me your thoughts!

It can be done from the shore with softs in the right.conditons but you'll need some current and the correct weight jighead/weighted hook or weightless. Weedless presentation too. Lures like this will be too heavy. Overall though I agree best to keep it moving if really snaggy, but can avoid a lot of losses if you can match the jighead speed to the current and depth and drift the lures bit stay in contact with it.

If the boat is drifting or there's flow it's definitely not static , a fly angler knows this , or any one that fishes for bass in a river flow or needles , which is just a case of mending the line and keeping the lure at the required depth without pulling the lure to shore as mush as possible. It's the 'natural' way . Anglers that retrieve can add a LONG pause to there angling (with in reason of hitting a snagged bottom) to start to experience this more .

​@BassLureFishP.S.: my spearfishing observations were from the Agais sea in Turkey where I lived for five years, btw. .Fish might be acting differently, but some behaviours may be the same, I guess.

​​@BassLureFish I recently took up angling again from the shores or Ireland here. I'm trying to catch seabass, but so far no luck. Your video inspired me to change my retrieve method, as well.I only remembered my spaearfishing observations after watching your video,so, thank you for sharing!

You’re spot on, this setup is definitely designed for sandbanks and would be a nightmare to use over rough ground!

That’s a fascinating insight from a spearfishing perspective, thanks for sharing that! 🎣

I remember from spearfishing that Seabass are extremely easily spooked. Sometimes they would hang in a school over a sandbank or under boat in marinas, when you move in too fast they would shot of never to be seen again. They will themselves move slowly up to a crab or fish and suddenly pounce, their prey not having moved a bit. I also observed that. So, the whole thing makes sense to me.

Watch BassLureFish: We Tested Fly vs Lure for Bass.. And The Result Shocked Us ↗

Yes, agreed—it’s still moving naturally with the tide. By “static” I mean the rod and reel aren’t being worked by the angler. The lure is simply drifting and moving with the current, rather than being actively retrieved or twitched.

Most bass fishing is done from shore from rock marks rocky points or reefs.
So unless you're using a boat this video is pointless i guarantee this method will not work over shallow rough ground you will end up loosing Most your lures

Avet and Accurate. Can’t remember sizes and models. Both great reels. Each over 12 years old and neither ever been serviced. Expensive but worth every penny.
