How To Tie The Perfect Dropper Loop

[@johnrodriguez3936]

New surf fisher here, I was having such a though time learning this from other KZbin videos. You’re method and explanation of this knot really helped me. Thank you!

[@FishingLongIsland]

Thank you. I m happy to hear it helped

[@melanies.6030]

Thanks! One of the few that show how to get a longer loop length. It seems obvious, but is good to demonstrate.

[@FishingLongIsland]

Thank you I’m glad you like the video and I also appreciate the comment.

[@englishandproud1949]

Great video Captain. Clear & concise. Your video is one of many I have watched over the last few months but the difference is that you stress the importance to moisten the line & actually do it on camera. Many People who watch these types of videos are perhaps new to the sport and many may not realise that if you don't moisten the line before you tightening up will cause the line to loose up to 60% of its original strength. The amount of friction caused by not using lubrication is so important yet other so called experts fail to mention it at all. So Captain full marks to you and your excellent video.....

[@FishingLongIsland]

That was very nice, thank you.

[@hoihoi1473]

Thanks, quick and easy. I ordered 2/3 pre made rigs for my aruba trip. Will save this video just in case

[@FishingLongIsland]

[@roguedog6799]

Man i have watched a couple videos for this knot and couldnt really see what they were doing. Thank YOU!

[@FishingLongIsland]

Rogue Dog thank you. It’s harder to film and tie with the camera between my arms but it shows the right way to tie.

[@roguedog6799]

@@FishingLongIsland Right on, im on the opposite coast in Oregon and tired of buying drop rigs so i will defiantly be using this knot very soon for Redtail surf perch and whatever bottom fish attacks my bait. Again Thank You ( : urs was the easiest to learn from.

[@PnoyAngler]

any workaround if the dropper loop is too big for the eyelet? like having a 50lbs mono with a size 1 circle hook but dang eyelet is just too small.if you have a video here can you send me the link. please

[@FishingLongIsland]

There are more on my page. I also made a playlist called how to videos. Look in there.

Is this rig good for catfish! Great video btw this knot is easy to learn with you being precise !! ☻

[@FishingLongIsland]

I never catfish before, but I can see why it would not work

[@samirafara2249]

Perfect tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[@FishingLongIsland]

Samir Afara thank you.

[@lornehargis2614]

Great video. Any hints for varying the loop size correctly? Often I try to make a bigger loop and it ends up smaller than I wanted or when I try to make a small loop it's even smaller than I wanted. Thanks

[@FishingLongIsland]

Lorne Hargis make a big loop before the twist. Once you put loop through the twist, pull it a little n hold it snug. Now pull down on both ends till knot snugs up.

[@lornehargis2614]

@@FishingLongIsland thanks Capt

[@lornehargis2614]

@@FishingLongIsland thank you Capt. I have tied several different size loops and I think my problem was pulling too quickly, I slowed down and kept the loop in my teeth, no problem. In the padt sometimes the loop would even slip out. Appreciate the help. Tight lines.

[@lornehargis2614]

@@FishingLongIsland I would be remiss if I also did not comment on twisting the loop so it bends up or down and the hook placement. Great tip. Thank you

[@remnard1]

[@remnard1]

@@FishingLongIsland RED line is awesome, much more easy to see than clear mono. But if you had a large piece of black oak tag on the table it would stand out great!.

[@timjohnun4297]

How strong is the hook connection, when threaded on like that? Has anybody tested that?

[@FishingLongIsland]

I don’t have issues. I use it all the time.

[@ariellevin3008]

this is like a modified blood knot?

[@FishingLongIsland]

It’s a dropper loop. Blood knot ties two lines together

[@ariellevin3008]

@@FishingLongIsland I understand it's a dropper knot, but it is made very similarly to a blood knot in that you embrace two 'lines' in a twist and then, unlike a blood knot you take the end, going the same direction, through the opening you created. By the way... nice content on youtube.

[@FishingLongIsland]

@@ariellevin3008 got ya. Miss understood what you meant. But yes same concept

[@victorvaldiviajr.3354]

Can those knots be made with braided line also???!

[@FishingLongIsland]

Victor Valdivia Jr. yes but I never did it with light stuff

[@timy3013]

Great video as always!!!!

[@FishingLongIsland]

Tim Y thank you

[@suewatters1]

On the small loop you mentioned you could tie a leader to it. How would you do that? I have a hooks with line already on it from store how so I tie it to the loop?

[@FishingLongIsland]

You would do loop to loop. Pass the loop from the pre-tied hook over the loop from your line coming from the rod. Now take the hook and put it through the loop coming from the rod. Pull all the hook line through the loop from the rod and a loop to loop not will form. I believe I have it it another video. I will look for you.

[@FishingLongIsland]

Monique Ashby watch this video at the end it explains what I just wrote to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWbRkHiPmZd7j7c

[@lornehargis2614]

Also learn to tie a perfection loop. This is what you use in the loop to loop or "handshake" loop connection. Good luck.

[@preiudeh22a]

I see these pre-made ones that are metal its the crappie rig. Do you think its better to make it with mono since the fish can see the metal rigs better?

[@FishingLongIsland]

J.J. K. I see the surf guys using the metal ones

[@reddemondrag]

No wonder I struggled, I've been making them 16 loops by accident. Thought I was doing 8 but spun It twice as much. Make 5 double dropper loop bottom rigs with 16 loops each today...

[@FishingLongIsland]

reddemondrag That has to be very hard to pull together snug

[@reddemondrag]

Yea, cut myself on the last one I made using 20lb monofilament then looked up this video. Thanks :)

[@chrisjackson7625]

why is my dropper loop going away when i pull both ends?

[@FishingLongIsland]

Hold the loop with your teeth while you start the pull once it starts snugging down then you can let go and moisten the knot

[@viqq183]

So much easier than I used to do damn. Thanks

[@FishingLongIsland]

That's extra. LOL Yeah sorry about that but gotta lubricate ..

[@juanmzmarquez9375]

No worries buddy thaks verry informative 👍🍻

[@Totaro17]

Add a twist to the loop. It’s even better I think the twisted dropper loop is much stronger and helps stop line twist. And you can switch out hooks and sinkers quick. Is the same thing, except you twist your loop Here’s is an explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/aobaZpiBg6lrhsk

[@FishingLongIsland]

Totaro17 thank you.

[@cabogosandy]

Why make the branch line twice bigger than the main line, it should be the other way around.

[@FishingLongIsland]

Depends on how far you want your hooks out. I like the further away from main line for a fluke rig I make.

This knot WILL pull through when pulling the loop itself. It happens every time I tie this exactly as shown in this and every other drop loop video that shows the very same thing. Doesn't work as advertised. I'll tie this exactly, and pull it through every single time.

Your doing it wrong. I tied thousands and have zero issues. Thank you fir watching and keep tying, you will get it. Trust me. It’s a great knot.
