Keep Your Dropshot Hook UP! How To Tie The BEST Knot For Dropshots

Not only does this dropshot knot keep your hook facing up, but is super strong and durable while fighting fish. You can use this for many styles of vertical presentations, but a dropshot is the best way to go with it. Hope you all enjoy the tutorials and we'll see you on the water!

I'm just getting into fishing and have been trying several different drop shot knots and have had difficulty mastering them, but this knot and your video had me instanting tying several perfect drop shot setups right away as I practiced. Thanks for the awesome video describing a simple and effective way to tie an awesome drop shot.

[@humbugvideos]

Glad you enjoyed the video, it’s such an easy yet effective knot! If you want to stay updated on how to do more stuff like this, feel free to subscribe🤟🏽

[@marathonkev]

@@humbugvideos Done! 😊

[@ASHWORTH-lp2yi]

Same here man! Easily one of the best videos for tying this knot

[@SquireBozorth]

FYI although this knot is easy it compromises line strength to a huge degree. When you are talking about 6-8lb test used in drop shotting this is a massive issue. Palomar with tag end being brought back through top is far superior.

[@photerm7320]

Best tutorial on youtube. I was bracing myself for a lot of fingering action and a lot of playback action. This fella nailed it.

[@jerryzeankowski1006]

The best vid I've seen on this. I watched a half dozen other all saying and showing the same thing, but the visuals and explanation made it click for me

[@humbugvideos]

Appreciate it!

[@dwaynetunstall5643]

Thanks man. This was the clearest drop shot hook video I was able to find. Didn't go to fast and explained every step in detail. Thank you!

[@humbugvideos]

Glad you enjoyed it👍🏽

[@KGTelePickerandChertKnapper]

Agreed.. 👍

[@ajword81]

For real.

[@acerview77ctre]

already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.

[@thecluelessoutdoorsman916]

This just boosted my drop shot confidence 100 fold!

[@edwardsezniak4215]

Stellar! Knots make all the difference and this one is exceptional!

[@newblackwealth624]

Outstanding job. I will never forget this tip.

[@pathayworth6738]

Great simple knot that demystify’s the process. Well shown!

[@brianharrington5593]

Short, simple, right to the point with easy visual by use of coloured thread. Thanks for doing up this video. Have always used Palomar to tie dropshot in past, from now on, The HUMBUG!

[@KGTelePickerandChertKnapper]

Super job on this video, man. I watched probably 6-7 videos on how to's for this knot, and you're explanation and especially your camera/video work is the best on YT. Period. After watching your vid and trying the knot again on my own.. Nailed it first time. Again... Thanks, and keep up the good work. Super easy knot after seeing what was going on with it and it's easier than the Poly in my opinion.

[@garylee23]

Just starting to try the Dropshot method … I stumbled across your video, as I didn’t know what knot to use & how to do it … this video makes so much sense. Absolutely brilliant and I will save it for when I go down the riverbank and I can give it a try. Thanks for sharing that young man and all the best and tight lines to you 👍😁🎣

Great video and a great knot! I have tried at least 4 variations of a drop-shot knot and this is by far the easiest and the best at keeping the hook away from the line for clean fish takes. Thank you!
