Sorry about that Rett! You might find it helpful to check out our guide to shad which includes a bit on rigging at fishtalkmag.com/blog/spring-shad-fishing, but that doesn't cover how to tie the Dropper Loop in detail. For that we'd recommend checking out Animated Knots at www.animatedknots.com/dropper-loop-knot. Good luck shad fishing!
