How do I tie this knot with heavy mono, i.e 20lb or more ? I use 3 overhands or more. The coils in my knots go over each other instead of in a line, despite wetting the line with saliva or water. I never have that problem with 10lb mono.

[@ozziepatino2585]

Thank you

[@michaelcrabtree2939]

Great video on the tutorial.

[@romanocenturion]

Very simple and BEST KNOT ever!! I used to own a fishing trip bussiness in Playa del Carmen 20 years ago, catched 100´s of dorados, sailfish, big barracudas, etc and NEVER LOST A FISH because of the knot.

[@RubenVernier]

This is the best, easiest to understand fishing-related tutorial I’ve found online. Thank you

[@mrsam6455]

novice fishing learner here. Been following my dads complicated teachings. This is so easy for me, especially where I fish with more experienced guys who watch me struggle and have sometimes also setup my rods from time to time. Definitely will be proud to sport this on my next trip!

[@Saltstrong]

So glad to see that you enjoyed this dropper rig setup. Keep us in mind whenever looking for more fishing tips.

Thanks ,68 year old ( old) man retired learning knots to fish thanks

[@connoraylward9001]

My grandfather showed me this knot so I could tie on swivels for my hooks. I was just switch to a smaller reel and needed a refresher. I must say you did a fantastic job explaining. Both visual and verbally ! You'd make a good teacher lol thanks !

[@justm105]

I’m a complete beginner and I’d love to take my grandkids fishing. With your very clear and easy to understand instructions it makes learning so much easier.

[@thomasmckinney6370]

Have you fished with your grandkids?

[@Platano_macho]

Today is free fishing in California and am taking my wife and 2 boy's I haven't fished in 20 years since I was a kid growing up in Bakersfield I watched this video to see if I tied my knot's right and I did!!! This is the only way my dad taught me as a kid growing up in the country was amazing hunting and fishing was our life on that farm now we live in the city and am looking to teach my little ones about simple life enjoyments.

[@nidi2234]

Great. Now I have to decide whether to continue using clips or not. Awesome!

[@douglasscranton]

One slow day on the back of a big boat a few years ago we did a challenge with that knot on one end, and other knots on the other end and pulled hard enough that one would fail. We were using 16lb mono as a test and this knot held with dozens of others on the other side with everyone's favorite knot and any we could look up on line. Great knot. Its not the only one you need, but a fantastic knot for beginners.

[@Saltstrong]

We are glad to see that you're tests of dropper loop knots showed this one as a top performer too. Tight Lines!

[@mitchman432]

KZbin was meant for people like you one of the best videos on how to !

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it was helpful!

[@muhammadfadhil4821]

Im just getting into fishing..tq for making this video and showing how easy it is to change weights or hooks.. hello from malaysia

[@CJW139]

This is the best tutorial on how to switch gears easily without using additional hardware.

[@englishcocktail]

I was always doing it the hard way. This way is much easier and the best thing about it is that you needn't cut the fishing line or re-tie any knots when changing the hook or weight. Thanks, dude :)

[@Saltstrong]

Glad to see that you enjoyed this dropper loop knot video! Yes, a huge plus is that switching hooks and/or weights can be done without having to retie any knots.

[@markpham4044]

Taking my son fishing for the first time for both of us tomorrow. Can't wait !

[@Saltstrong]

That's awesome! Have fun!

[@Bobbshu1]

Wow! Real neat and easy the dropper loop knot and excellently convenient for changing hook, weight etc in a jiffy. Thanks a bundle guys.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I needed a refresher as I use to fish on boats way back in the 90s and now I'd like to take my son fluke fishing. Love the video and thanks again.

[@Saltstrong]

I'm glad to see that you enjoyed this dropper loop video. We hope you and your son catch some big fluke!

[@elijiah04]

Thanks for the best video ive seen on this knot and best explanation.

[@jrdefield7481]

This is my second knot video of yours to watch. The first being the uni knot. You have great instructional talent. Plus, you do these in lighting conditions where the line is perfectly seen. It's ridiculous how many of these how to knot videos are done where you can't see the line? Common sense rules. Thanks again for producing a profitable video!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice comment. So glad to see that you're enjoying the knot videos.

Thanks for this video. This is how my uncle taught me how to tie a fishing knot. Really simple but I forgot how to do so since it was almost half a decade ago.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Pistolpeter-ve1qm]

Thank you. Simple and to the point!

[@waleed484]

This is an absolutely practical and simple way to change hooks and sinkers. thanks indeed.

[@Watertowoods]

Thank you so much I have fished my whole life and I have never been able to do it but whit yours I learned it so quick

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it helped!

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

I've seen a couple of videos for this method and yours is by far the best one. It was easy to follow and I could actually see what you were doing. Thanks.

[@marcusbreton1055]

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH FINALLY I FIGURED OUT HOW TO TIE A KNOT!

[@apexlucas]

How did you tie your shoes before then?

[@marcusbreton1055]

i meant the fishing rod not the shoes

[@apexlucas]

@@marcusbreton1055 I was just joking

[@veltonmeade1057]

Thank you, great video. I've used this knot in the past but needed to review it again. I just tied up a swivel, weight, and hook so now when I go out this afternoon, I can easily change hooks. Thanks!

[@SteveParton]

Clear and concise. Also, thx for filming against a darker background. Makes it easier to see the line. Wish everyone did that!

[@susieallen6601]

I have been fishing all my life....but this is so easy to understand!!...Thanks

[@jeffreyhopkins4157]

I've been successfully using this knot for many years. The reason I watched your video is because I thought the knot was too simple to tie, and I must be doing something wrong (even though its always worked great). But lo and behold, I had it right. Thank you.

[@nolanola-ys4ns]

finally I find a place where I can actually get useful info on fishing and rigging tips. I subed.

[@damecheabdessamed7354]

Same here. Finally

[@moondarck]

I never really thought about the advantage of that knot. I was using the palomar knot to tie eyed hooks, but that knot is permanent, and takes a bit more time. I'll give the Dropper loop knot a try on my next fishing. Thanks.

[@whitetroutchannel]

moondarck stick with the palomar for hooks i really wouldnt recommend a loop not for securing end tackle the clinch to secure the hook ends up being weakend its fine for weights swimfeeders etc

[@ichigo3223]

This the only knot I use when fishing. Its so simple and you can swap hooks without tying new knots or complicated rigs.

[@tressaelkins2417]

Thanks for this I use this method alot but didn't know how to make the loop on the line. I do now first try

[@TeamHardLife]

Very nice video and not having to cut line is great

[@justicelawyer1444]

I know this is an older video, but it's terrific with the detailed explanations.

[@AzureJaw]

Thank you for teaching me, I've been fishing with my uncle since forever but never really knew how to tie knots on the string. Really big help!

[@iberopediaGE]

Excellent explanation! You help millions of fishermen :)

[@georgealatas6900]

Thank you, your demo is very clear and simple to understand how to tie a dropper loop knot

[@faqdaworld]

This is actually useful. Much better than the ways I've been doing my flounder jigging rigs. Thank You!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for making time to leave this nice comment. Yes, this loop knot will come in handy if you like to swap out jig while flounder fishing. P.S. - Flounder seem to have been left out of the apparel world for far too long, so we recently made a microfiber fishing shirt specifically for those of us who love catching flounder... here's a link to check it out in case interested: shop.saltstrong.com/products/flounder-strong-performance-shirt

[@rodneyhiggs3609]

Since I was very young I wanted to learn how to fish, and just a few years ago my son, grandson, son-in-law asked me if they could go fishing, along with my neighbor, who considers himself a fish aficionado and fishing guide guru, all went to the local pier on a fishing trip, and had the time of our lives. My grandson who was about 6.5 years of age caught the first fish of the day, about six inches long. A competition ensued between my son who was 27 years old at the time to a winner take all grudge match, because of my son’s comments about the size of the fish. I took pictures of the events throughout the day. I hated fishing myself because of an earlier life fishing experience when I was about 11 years of age and no fishing experience. There were three of us and no one knew anything about fishing. I was glad to have introduced and reintroduced three generations of my family to the sport, I only wish that I had done so earlier on, though my family has been after me many times since. This all reminds me of the song “Cats In The Cradle-Harry Chapin”. I often go back and look over the photos of that day and it makes me proud.
