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.
Thank you for all the info new to fishing here never caught a fish in my life next week going to channel islands...super excited. Your videos have help me make a lot of sense. Hopefully I can catch my first fish ever
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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?
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
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
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?
You don't find it easier to tie the dropper loop without the hook, especially on party boats? When the hooks are just looped on after the dropper loop is tied, you can take the hook off more easily when the lines get tangled and you wont need to cut the loop to remove the hook.
I always binge watch when I have a fishing trip coming up. Love the knowledge you offer. Thanks.
Thanks Dan
That's what I'm doing right now! Refresher videos

You don't have to, but It does help.
Great instruction Dan
Always a helpful session
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
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.

Thanks Dan for the great info. I love the way you keep it simple and effective for us.
Just FYI my son caught his very first halibut on one of your b52 bucktails. Just want to say thanks!
Thank you for showing how to switch up for halibut too!
No problem 👍
Thanks for all the information
Our pleasure!
For white Seabass would you use the reverse drop loop
No just for halibut would I do that.
You are awesome for the community
When you use reverse dropper loop, is that only used with live bait?
Yes usually
@@dansportfishing will pieces of squid float on a reverse dropper loop?
looking to get the yellowtail on my list

Here's to a great year of fishing!
Do you prefer the spider winch knot or the dropper loop
I love to learn your techniques.

Great again Dan. I will be Looking for a private charter date to take my Dad who is also an Oiler!
I use the dropper loop all the time. I always put a B-52 on one of the loops.
That's a great way to rig it.
Great educational videos! Wealth of knowledge. Thanks for all videos!
Hey Dan ! Is this rig good for white seabass with buck tail ?
Yes it is.
opinion on the bimini? this way seems much easier to tie
I'm doing double dropper loops with bucktails on one rod and popcorn rig on other rod
Looking forward to my trip out to California this summer for some fishing out of 22nd St.
What tackle stores sell your products like the bucktails??
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/
Outstanding show and content,

I love your info Dan! Thx
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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
where can I see it?

Great stuff! Is there any real advantage to using T-knots with a dropper loop?
Thanks Dan
Great video. Keep up the how to videos, very informative
Going for some big halis tomorrow!
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?
That is a comman thing to do in surf fishing in the PNW. I also do it for fly fishing leaders.
Thanks for the great tips on rigs
What about using 3way swible?
that's a different rig.
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
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?
Thanks Dan for the video.

Cool video, wish it were a little more close up
Very helpful.
Glad to hear!

Is it too late to join Dan?
I have tied many dropper rigs and I can’t believe I never slipped the hook on the line first.
The dumbest way to do it because u can’t change hook size and u can’t. Undo hook to get untangled
Thank you
Nice one

You don't find it easier to tie the dropper loop without the hook, especially on party boats? When the hooks are just looped on after the dropper loop is tied, you can take the hook off more easily when the lines get tangled and you wont need to cut the loop to remove the hook.
Same with tying a triple surgeon loop at the bottom and just looping on the sinker so that it is easy to remove if your lines get tangled.
