How- To Tie a Dropper Loop Rig

[@tommanley2025]

I usually see people tying the dropper loop but not adding the hook in the loop prior to the start of it. I like the way you did it. Thanks for improving my technique in tying this.

[@dansportfishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@armas0daniel]

[@dansportfishing]

[@JavierMartinez-xp9oz]

I learned this many years ago, in the 80's, a old fisherman taught me this rig in Erendida Castro Camp just south of ensenada mex.. Some the best Rock fishing Ever... so Learn from the mouth of experience LIKE DAN...

[@cain_g99]

I love making my own double dropper with that exact cocktail set up... cant wait to get back on a boat

[@AngelGarcia-zp6jf]

[@dansportfishing]

It sure is!

[@lakai6781]

Looking forward to my trip out to California this summer for some fishing out of 22nd St.

[@stevendelahoya5382]

Thanks Dan for all the great 👍🏽 Info, as always!! I have used your tips for many years and it has definitely helped with my fishing 🎣 success!

[@brettendter4332]

Great again Dan. I will be Looking for a private charter date to take my Dad who is also an Oiler!

[@abdivergreg]

Thank you for showing how to switch up for halibut too!

[@dansportfishing]

No problem 👍

[@WadeBaune]

Nice job Dan, very clear instructions, I appreciate that. Have you ever tried the twisted dropper loop? It makes the hook strand out more from your line. Start just like you did but after putting the hook on twist the two tag ends in opposite directions. Then proceed like you finished the knot. Haven’t tried it yet. (Did stay at a holiday in express last night though.)A few times my dropper has twisted around the leader but maybe the dropper waste long. Thank you for sharing.

[@jamessoohoo8382]

Thank you for showing me how to setup a rock cod rig. I am retired now and have time to learn to how catch fish. Any other tips is very valuable to me. Salt and fresh water.

[@dansportfishing]

Glad to help

[@jamesskidmore5776]

I'm doing double dropper loops with bucktails on one rod and popcorn rig on other rod

[@tonyzavala370]

Always good refresher tips n new methods

[@rubenmadrid3154]

Great video Thanks for double dropping knowledge I’m to try that reverse dropper loop rig 👍 It sounds cool 😎 can’t wait to use after the show in March

[@MrLavega21]

I have question Dan if you are using like two 2oz Bucktails or even one 6-8oz Bucktails do you also have to put sinkers? When do you need to use sinkers? Thx for time and help. I saw a video where u had two Bucktails but didn't see a sinker that's why I ask

[@dansportfishing]

if you are fishing in deep water then yes use a sinker, in shallow water I will use 6oz. bucktail on the bottom and 1oz. on the top.

[@bmoncada55]

I use the dropper loop all the time. I always put a B-52 on one of the loops.

[@dansportfishing]

That's a great way to rig it.

[@publiuszero79]

I also like using drop shot for halibut. BTW, I made a GoogleMaps page for Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures, as I saw there wasn't a business page for your private charter

[@dansportfishing]

where can I see it?

[@publiuszero79]

@@dansportfishing search Dan Hernandez Fishing Adventures on GoogleMaps

[@GoSDREO]

When dropper loop fishin for YT, once the weight hits the bottom, do fish with the reel in gear (like i do for rockfish) OR do i put it in freespool w/clicker on and wait for the YT to take the bait and run before putting in gear to set the hook?

[@HAIL0ZARK]

Going for some big halis tomorrow!

[@MrA-qp1dt]

Outstanding show and content,

[@danielhernandezgethooked8818]

You are awesome for the community

[@mikeludwikowski7050]

[@mannyperez7680]

Great educational videos! Wealth of knowledge. Thanks for all videos!

[@lenlvovsky]

Thank you Dan for your video. I love it, so many helpful tips from you. Sorry for a stupid question. If you fish for a rockfish or scalpin and using bucktail. Do you have to put a bate on a hook or not. Sorry I am a new one. Just sarted.

[@dansportfishing]

You don't have to, but It does help.

[@albertwanner2764]

I love your info Dan! Thx

[@dansportfishing]

[@gregphillippe6678]

Thanks for all the information

[@dansportfishing]

Our pleasure!

[@saltyboi2267]

For white Seabass would you use the reverse drop loop

[@dansportfishing]

No just for halibut would I do that.

[@saltyboi2267]

Do you prefer the spider winch knot or the dropper loop

[@nickwhitney8697]

looking to get the yellowtail on my list

[@alvertomartinez7662]

I love to learn your techniques.

[@youremakingmesomad]

Tried tying it myself while rock fishing, the deck hand said I put the hook on backwards. He redid it by making the loop first then attaching the hook after. Which way is better

[@anthonyfasulo4690]

Great video. Keep up the how to videos, very informative

[@jorgezuni2818]

Hey Dan ! Is this rig good for white seabass with buck tail ?

[@dansportfishing]

Yes it is.

[@And-the-new]

When you use reverse dropper loop, is that only used with live bait?

[@dansportfishing]

Yes usually

[@And-the-new]

@@dansportfishing will pieces of squid float on a reverse dropper loop?

[@dougvolpi3216]

Thanks Dan

[@danbanuelos3368]

I hope to see all of you at the next fishing club meeting. I think I might get my wife to start volunteering too! When is the next time that the Live Scan will be done at the park? When is the next Kid's Fishing Derby, and where?

[@davidtiffin6669]

What tackle stores sell your products like the bucktails??

[@dansportfishing]

What city are you in? Here's a link you can use to buy them from our website, sport-fishing.com/product/b-52-bucktail/

[@uglycatchfishingcrew6110]

Cool video Dan

[@ChrisStrong]

Thanks for the great tips on rigs

[@jonathancarlos646]

Thanks for all the great content Dan. Do you ever tie your Dropper Loops as blanks, so you can change out hooks and sinkers easier?

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

That is a comman thing to do in surf fishing in the PNW. I also do it for fly fishing leaders.

[@oceantotable]

Knowledge bomb. Thank you!

[@FisherNewb]

Great stuff! Is there any real advantage to using T-knots with a dropper loop?

[@iamasong9680]

What about using 3way swible?

[@dansportfishing]

that's a different rig.

[@yasheensahadev2874]
