New surf fisher here, I was having such a though time learning this from other TH-cam videos. You’re method and explanation of this knot really helped me. Thank you!
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 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.
@@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!.
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
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.
@@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.
@@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
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...
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
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 th-cam.com/video/4Uw5eKND8Pg/w-d-xo.html
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?
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?
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 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.
Sorry for the negative comment Fishing Long Island I was just frustrated to discover that some of my favorite knots just kept breaking. Bye bye clinch knot, and others.
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.

Thank you. I m happy to hear it helped
Thanks! One of the few that show how to get a longer loop length. It seems obvious, but is good to demonstrate.
Thank you I’m glad you like the video and I also appreciate the comment.

Best demo I have seen. I finally got it. Thank YOU!
Mr40tt thank you and thank you for the comment 😃
Thanks, quick and easy. I ordered 2/3 pre made rigs for my aruba trip. Will save this video just in case
Glad it helped
Thank you for telling me how to tie the rope, I am very satisfied ❤️️
Thank you for watching
Great demo I nailed it on first swing ! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching and also thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. Glad it worked out well for you.
Man i have watched a couple videos for this knot and couldnt really see what they were doing. Thank YOU!
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.

Yeah, this is a very well made video. Easy to understand 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
Well done and easy to see and understand! Thank you.
Anytime
Awesome tutorial!!! Make me want to try it right now!!!!!
Thank you for watching
The red line is nice for seeing what you are tieing
Thank u 🙏🏼
Great way to show this! First one that I got right away. Thanks!
Thank you. I am happy to hear you liked the video. Please share if you can.
Appreciate thinking about the one learning, when teaching.....good job.
1220freddie Thank you for the response. I appreciate that you enjoyed the video. thank you for watching
I tried this loop 2 other ways and couldn't do it...I can do this one...finally, thanks.
taylor8492 anytime glad it worked out for you.
Is this rig good for catfish! Great video btw this knot is easy to learn with you being precise !! ☻
I never catfish before, but I can see why it would not work
Thank you for this video well done , I learned a lot.
Thank you
So much easier than I used to do damn. Thanks
Ville thank you for watching
Perfect tutorial. Thanks for sharing
Samir Afara thank you.
A black foreground would help even more!
I think the red line would have been hard to see but I’ll try on the next one
@@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!.
That’s what’s up I gotta work this loop

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

Thank you!
You're welcome!
Good video👍thanks.

Nice!

Super helpful
Thank you. Glad you liked my video. Please share if you can.
Can those knots be made with braided line also???!
Victor Valdivia Jr. yes but I never did it with light stuff
good practical learning.
bill carson thank you brother.

Monique Ashby watch this video at the end it explains what I just wrote to you. th-cam.com/video/G5n_EYd2HYU/w-d-xo.html
Also learn to tie a perfection loop. This is what you use in the loop to loop or "handshake" loop connection. Good luck.
How strong is the hook connection, when threaded on like that? Has anybody tested that?
I don’t have issues. I use it all the time.
Awesome 👌
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@FishingLongIsland easy to follow, cheers 🍻
@@simonhole3364 thank you. I try to film so you see what I see.
this is like a modified blood knot?
It’s a dropper loop. Blood knot ties two lines together

Great vid

Hi...how are you...🙋♂🙋♂🙋♂🙋♂
I am watching your video..and l' ll know how to make double leader.
Mas Topo Mancing thank you for watching. Glad to hear it helped you out.
Are we supposed to leave the drool on it?
That's extra. LOL Yeah sorry about that but gotta lubricate ..
No worries buddy thaks verry informative 👍🍻
Why make the branch line twice bigger than the main line, it should be the other way around.
Depends on how far you want your hooks out. I like the further away from main line for a fluke rig I make.
why is my dropper loop going away when i pull both ends?
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
Tha k you
Anytime & thank you for watching
awesome!

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.
no good for me , got no teeth
You just made me laughing 😂 out loud.
Worst demo yet
Thank you for watching and always helping out with my algorithm.
I think you might have had too many beers mate. This is one of the best knotting videos I have ever seen. Or are you just trolling????????
