How to tie a PATERNOSTER RIG | DROPPER LOOP easily and correctly

[@deandewey5584]

This is one of the best videos I've seen, demonstrating how to tie a paternoster rig. Doing it on the black cloth with white coloured line clearly outlines how to tie the rig.

[@CraigGrendon]

Thanks for that Greg. The granny knot at the hook is a great idea.

[@robertlosasso4222]

That was a Palomar knot not a granny knot .

[@pauloakley8424]

@@robertlosasso4222 Greg literally said granny knot at the hook

[@digimont]

@@pauloakley8424 Yes but the granny knot PLUS passing it over the hook is a Palomar knot. Been using it for 40 years, because its easy to tie in the dark, in wind etc and maintains 97% of the original breaking strain of the line.

[@jasonw4053]

That knot is called that Palomar knot.

[@williewestendorf868]

Well done! Love the knots and simple but detailed commentary.

[@MrCliftonLaird]

the granny knot after going through the hook eye is Sweet! Hard to believe but I ain't seen that trick before. Thanks

[@VickiAnkney]

That's the same as the palomar knot one of the strongest knots.

[@jonkennard8272]

For me those video is now the best tutorial for the paternoster rig by some way. Clear and simply technique thank you

[@dextermd19]

Thank you my adhd brain couldn’t comprehend the visual of other dropper loops on KZbin, yours was the best visual and actually understood the whole process. 🙏thank you!

[@gregswickedfishing]

thank you I'm glad you found it useful. Much appreciated and thanks for the support.

[@deandewey5584]

Can relate to what you are saying. Seen many demonstrate the tying of a paternoster rig. But some are hard to follow. This one is very user friendly

[@0omubtcezq]

a natural instructor you are, looking forward to more videos.

[@dannymarkgraf34]

this is a really great video. i appreciate the extreme close up when demonstrating the process. it makes it a lot easier to follow and eliminates confusion. i will be saving this video for reference for sure. thank you for sharing.

[@emu4wd]

Great easy to follow vid. I simply drill out the holes of the sinkers allowing the knot to pass through and thus a shorter loop. Steve 🇦🇺

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate. No doubt it will minimise it mate.

[@lukemix6463]

Yea drilling every sinker is way easier than making a loop slightly larger

[@taringaturi6950]

Nice Palomar on the end of the loop knot. Good idea!

[@benphilippi9325]

4:30 - a single loop palomar essentially. I've been looping through but will definitely be doing this from now on.

[@llllllllj]

Great video! Very clearly explained. Well done and thank you!

[@beebob1279]

Excellent demonstration. And actually someone discussing the method to tie it up. Now I need to find someone who will explain the 'T' knot rig. I'm trying to expand my understanding of the different types of dropper rig knots. I fresh water fish and am looking for new ways.

[@johnnyo0705]

Good on ya mate. Thank you for the great information. Using the thicker line made it really easy to follow along.

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

AWESOME VIDEO, THANKS FOR SHARING. TIGHT LINES, MATE!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated.

[@stevenkolden]

Sooo Happy I found your video. I've been trying to learn how to do a high/low rig for hours through other videos. Yours made it so simple and so easy to follow! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I'm going fishing tomorrow in the Pacific. Hopefully put the knots to the test!

[@lucannewland1187]

Pretty good rig for shore fishing when attaching a gripper weight for the sand! Good video mate 👍

[@Brunnen_Gee]

One of my most often used knots, it's what I use for catfishing. I find it a lot of fun to tie as well.

[@aliifraid9659]

Hi Greg Great explanation , thank you very much

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks for the comment. Cheers

[@pondhoppertv]

Love that knot for tying drop shot rigs!

[@zone_yks_mastermind5609]

You just gave me a great idea with the dropper loop knot on the hook

[@shashaw.324]

This is the best video! Great clear instructions and visual aids! You are very talented teacher!

[@TrentORourke]

Thanks for the video. Ive lost some big reef fish when the line breaks at the hook when just looping the hook on with 80lb mono. I was leaning towards a 3 way swivel but will try your rig.

[@pauloakley8424]

Great vid, best on KZbin for this type of rig. Thanks a lot!

[@gregswickedfishing]

awesome thank you for the feedback

[@noabert]

This is my go-to line. I use 15 lb. Test and night fish a lot and when you pair this line with a blacklight, you have no problem seeing your line.

[@aliifraid9659]

grear explanation thank you very much from saudia arabia

[@gregswickedfishing]

thank you

[@FishFNR]

Thanks man! Simplest and most effective rig to make! Praise man!

[@davidharris9744]

Very good information ! simple and easy to understand. thanks a lot.😊

[@otiss3213]

Quite impressive! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@joedennehy386]

Very informative thanks. The hook position is much better if you use a loop, put in from the front, especially with recurve/circle hooks

[@Boknow0]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for a well explained video !

[@ACuriousSquirrel]

Thanks for the vid! Didn't realize one alpine butterfly (w/extra twists) and one Palomar knot was all it consists of, I was overthinking the process.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Cheers

[@lujayn3]

It isn't an alpine butterfly it's a dropper loop knot but you could use an alpine butterfly knot for this purpose probably, but you were spot on about the hook knot being a palomor Edited to include a link to a easy way to do the alpine butterfly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5SbaomQbq-ehJIsi=7lfSGgJNzocX7PNc

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I'm glad you found it useful. Cheers

[@ArtThatMatters286]

thank you for the info.....sinker breakaway - great idea.

[@cw2a]

Tying this drop loop can be so aggravating! Sometimes its cake easy, othertimes you couldnt tie it if life depended. I cannot figure why or what I do differently. One side just "slips" and pulls out.

[@dragginmedown]

Haha I’m the same. Just do 3 overhand knots. I’ve landed 8kg snapper with that knot. Maybe not as good with even bigger fish

[@cw2a]

@@dragginmedown There gotta be something I am missing tying it. I like it but your right smaller stuff. Frustrates the bejebus outta me at times!!

[@dragginmedown]

@@cw2a just use a 3 way swivel. I mainly use running sinker rig

[@ShaunNest]

Thanks bro you made that super simple 🎣😎

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

So many things in life, such as tying knots, seem difficult with two hands, but could be pretty easy with three hands. Makes me wonder why we evolved with only two when a third-especially a center hand-would be so useful.

[@jacklarrison240]

A third arm, 4" below my right arm would be ideal. I've thought about this a million times!! And instead of a pinky, I'd need another thumb!

[@mattgaudio3806]

Great vid!!! I just tied 6 and it was super easy.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Awesome mate well done

[@MrBinxy]

Nice video - I've been tying this rig for crappie jigs since I was a little kid when my dad taught me and I've never known the name of the rig

[@jcnz9861]

Superb demonstration - thanks.

[@adamjovicic9006]

Great video and I really like the granny knot 😂

[@MemisSaglam-n6t]

the best explanation. Great Tutorial

[@nobelsonsiburian5030]

stopped by this channel because I wanted to learn how to connect fishing line always success bro Nice to meet you

[@Jayeffhi]

Great video! Can you cut the hook look to make it longer? My guess is no it'll unravel

[@ramconsulting71]

Thanks Greg, learnt something today.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate I appreciate the support.

[@willkitching]

Great work Greg! Some handy hints there along the way, I learnt a couple of things! Keep up the great work mate 👍🎣

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Will much appreciated mate.

[@Patrick_Ronan]

Very good, clear as day👍👍

[@ARCSTREAMS]

the second way you tied the hook is called a palomar knot, very good 100% knot if done properly

[@cliffballinger5096]

Awsum simple and effective 👍👍

great work Greg. tight lines mate.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate cheers for the support

[@bido8176]

Dont know why but at least have the time the knot slips and the loop disappears leaving me with just crinkled leader. Very frustrating. What could i be doing wrong? When i hold the loop in my teeth and pull the ends the loop just shrinks and disappears under tension

[@arthurstock4386]

That's awesome. I wish I had of seen this a few days ago before i went fishing (I'm still learning). When you tie the granny knot on the hook does that mean you can't change hooks?

[@Ecovend]

Thank you! Very well done video.

[@WD-41469]

I prefer to tie the dropper loop first, and then the weight loop. I find it easier to get the weight close to the hook, if I really want that bait on the bottom.

[@robertlosasso4222]

A simple single overhand knot for the sinker is all you need , it will pull out if your sinker gets hung up .

[@WD-41469]

It can also come untied and send your 4oz Weight sailing into oblivion, leaving your line behind. Use a double surgeons loop, and tie a simple square not just above it. The square knot is the weakest link in the rig, and the line will break there.

[@robertlosasso4222]

@@WD-41469 I’m not talking about casting, just dropping down and drifting, it won’t come undone .

[@WD-41469]

@@robertlosasso4222 Ah. That makes sense. I’m not a boat guy.

[@John_Williams421]

Noo, do two wraps on your overhand for your sinker, it won’t ever fly off but it’s weak enough to break off before your teaser/hook

[@NormandoMaçaneiro-m4w]

Excelente. Explicação simples e objetiva. Obrigado 🇧🇷

Very informative Greg, thanks for sharing mate 👌

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Johnny much appreciated mate.

[@michaelmello9510]

Nice job thanks 👍

[@acelilumelody4445]

If im using a 40lb braid will a 15lb be too light for a break away on snags? Ive never considered that before but it sounds like a good idea. Maybe 7 or 8 inches of a 15lb mono just snap if it snags?

[@dherdy9205]

Definitely every bait I hook I use the Paloma nice

[@justinmabey1638]

Hey Greg. Great vid mate thanks

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated.

[@tuberider1171]

does anyone know if the knot he tied to join the sink break away to the main line at 1:25 was a quick way to do a Double Uni knot? Or was it some other knot?

[@nugent139]

Nice and easy to follow even a noob like me can follow

haha thanks mate. Yeah not ideal but but situation adverted lol

[@DarrelMartin-w5f]

Thank you great video

[@bradleywilson8503]

Hi Greg, do you use a swivel to connect the paternoster to the main line or just tie the paternoster in the main line , cheers

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hi mate. Yes I do mate. If i have plenty of leader and in a rush I will just tie the knot in my leader but generally I will attach with a swivel. Cheers

[@aliifraid9659]

Hi Greg Great explanation , thank you very much

[@paullewis252]

Great video and well explained. Very easy to follow 👌

[@LanceRudy]

Great video thanks 😊

[@rcs7602]

what test is that line at 5:31?

[@nursejc636]

Is this for saltwater fishing? Or is it gonna work also for walleye and whitebass fishing? Thanks

[@bobbymalta73]

Thanks For the Info Friend. Please can you tell us the Lengths in Cms? Cheers Mate..

[@benowebbsta2121]

Hi Greg, just been practicing this for next time I get out. Question ? I’m doing the overhand knot on the dropper with some 7/0 octopus beak hooks aka suicide hook with the bent hook shank ! Does this same overhand knot thing work with these hooks ? Or should I stick to a straight shank hook ? It does sit slightly funny would it effect it or will be ok or what’s best ? I noticed your circles had bent shanks …

[@gregswickedfishing]

I've used it on all hooks and even ones with bent shank. Just make sure you try to help it slip down nicely onto the eye as your pulling it tight.

[@chadanderson4264]

Well done

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate

[@PolarBearXx]

Noice man I do drop shot mostly I’ve been eyeballing this rig imma try it just need a strong snap swivel for big cats to not break it but I hate it when it tangled on fish and nets I use punch baits cj shad is bdass and triple sss stinkbait is king too I stick to those I really don’t use my more cut up bait fish are stubborn here

[@AD-jd8is]

At 3:39 is everything😂😂

[@pusetgeorges5738]

Good pédagogie !!!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thank you

[@TSiriusz]

The gaps between the knots made me lose my weight quickly. I'd probably just tie on the weight a different way. How the hook is tied on was fine

[@80sShred]

Is that dyneema on the first rig? How would you attach that to the main line?

[@joedennehy386]

With a swivel or I'd you ate casting lures a pr knot

[@gregswickedfishing]

correct and yes use a swivel between the paternoster rig and main line

[@sicksour7791]

very cool, I prefer to use a figure 8 on a bite knot personally

[@kalavetinauakarawa8347]

Thanks heaps mate

[@robert6106]

Can you cut the loop for rigs intended for smaller fish and feathers?

[@HaydenCooper-j6u]

Thanks mate

[@brettellis1837]

Brilliant.

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Hey Greg, I was wondering if you had a depth that you switch from circle hooks instead of j hooks? (Assuming you are running braid mainline to your rig) I wonder about this myself and wanted to see what you reckon :)

[@Dave-ww5tl]

Buddy, is it that special to know, cmon yes your noggen and work it wanker

[@chrischurch4551]

Sorry, what that looks like at 3:15 plus salivary lubrication made me bust out laughing. I never grew up. Appreciate the guidance, though

hahaha you will notice a break in the footage at that point. I made mention what it looked like but thought I better cut it out lol. Cheers
