This is one of the best videos I've seen, demonstrating how to tie a paternoster rig. Doing it on the black cloth with white coloured line clearly outlines how to tie the rig.
@@pauloakley8424 Yes but the granny knot PLUS passing it over the hook is a Palomar knot. Been using it for 40 years, because its easy to tie in the dark, in wind etc and maintains 97% of the original breaking strain of the line.
Thank you my adhd brain couldn’t comprehend the visual of other dropper loops on RU-vid, yours was the best visual and actually understood the whole process. 🙏thank you!
Excellent demonstration. And actually someone discussing the method to tie it up. Now I need to find someone who will explain the 'T' knot rig. I'm trying to expand my understanding of the different types of dropper rig knots. I fresh water fish and am looking for new ways.
Thanks for the video. Ive lost some big reef fish when the line breaks at the hook when just looping the hook on with 80lb mono. I was leaning towards a 3 way swivel but will try your rig.
Sooo Happy I found your video. I've been trying to learn how to do a high/low rig for hours through other videos. Yours made it so simple and so easy to follow! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I'm going fishing tomorrow in the Pacific. Hopefully put the knots to the test!
It isn't an alpine butterfly it's a dropper loop knot but you could use an alpine butterfly knot for this purpose probably, but you were spot on about the hook knot being a palomor Edited to include a link to a easy way to do the alpine butterfly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qc89VZ9JkN0.htmlsi=7lfSGgJNzocX7PNc
So many things in life, such as tying knots, seem difficult with two hands, but could be pretty easy with three hands. Makes me wonder why we evolved with only two when a third-especially a center hand-would be so useful.
Tying this drop loop can be so aggravating! Sometimes its cake easy, othertimes you couldnt tie it if life depended. I cannot figure why or what I do differently. One side just "slips" and pulls out.
That's awesome. I wish I had of seen this a few days ago before i went fishing (I'm still learning). When you tie the granny knot on the hook does that mean you can't change hooks?
If im using a 40lb braid will a 15lb be too light for a break away on snags? Ive never considered that before but it sounds like a good idea. Maybe 7 or 8 inches of a 15lb mono just snap if it snags?
Dont know why but at least have the time the knot slips and the loop disappears leaving me with just crinkled leader. Very frustrating. What could i be doing wrong? When i hold the loop in my teeth and pull the ends the loop just shrinks and disappears under tension
I prefer to tie the dropper loop first, and then the weight loop. I find it easier to get the weight close to the hook, if I really want that bait on the bottom.
Hi mate. Yes I do mate. If i have plenty of leader and in a rush I will just tie the knot in my leader but generally I will attach with a swivel. Cheers
It can also come untied and send your 4oz Weight sailing into oblivion, leaving your line behind. Use a double surgeons loop, and tie a simple square not just above it. The square knot is the weakest link in the rig, and the line will break there.
Hi Greg, just been practicing this for next time I get out. Question ? I’m doing the overhand knot on the dropper with some 7/0 octopus beak hooks aka suicide hook with the bent hook shank ! Does this same overhand knot thing work with these hooks ? Or should I stick to a straight shank hook ? It does sit slightly funny would it effect it or will be ok or what’s best ? I noticed your circles had bent shanks …
Noice man I do drop shot mostly I’ve been eyeballing this rig imma try it just need a strong snap swivel for big cats to not break it but I hate it when it tangled on fish and nets I use punch baits cj shad is bdass and triple sss stinkbait is king too I stick to those I really don’t use my more cut up bait fish are stubborn here
does anyone know if the knot he tied to join the sink break away to the main line at 1:25 was a quick way to do a Double Uni knot? Or was it some other knot?
Hey Greg, I was wondering if you had a depth that you switch from circle hooks instead of j hooks? (Assuming you are running braid mainline to your rig) I wonder about this myself and wanted to see what you reckon :)
