Don't put those dropshots away quite yet...they're a simple and efficient way to keep your minnow (small suckers or redtails) right in front of a walleye's face and know it's fishing in the strike zone the whole time.
Drop a comment below and let me know what you think.
Thx SO much for watching!

‣ Amped Outdoors lithium batteries: https://bit.ly/Amped-Outdoors-Lithium
I upgraded my boat batteries to lithium this season and could NOT be more happy!
I went with Amped Outdoors' 36V 100Ah trolling motor lithium battery system (which is two 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries in parallel). I was able to shave off roughly 140 pounds
by running those 2 lithiums vs 3 lead batteries, and of course get some amazing run times: https://bit.ly/36V-100Ah-trolling-motor-parallel
Which also freed up an extra battery slot in my boat, so I was able to plug in this 100Ah beast (only weighs about 24-ish lbs) to exclusively run all of my electronics – fer dayzzzz
– instead of running them off of my cranking battery:
