Best tutorial I've seen, I like that there isnt a bunch of talking and that your tying knots on a white background so it's clearly visible what's being done. Thanks again. Now suscribed.
Polimer knot is still one of the bread and butter knots for hooks. May not be ideal for drop shot rigs but still a solid fall back knot to know if you dont want to loose a hook.
This seems like one of the most practical dropshot knots I've seen in awhile with an actual functional purpose. I've been using a oyster rig (what we call them) as a dropshot which I like since it takes like 15 seconds to do from nothing to hook and weight. I will try this version tho as it really seems to be practical for it's purpose and doesn't involve 5 knots to do the same job. (for those who may wonder a oyster rig is basically as it sounds, we have a lot of oyster beds here and they are notorious for snagging hooks so folks tie their hook about a foot of the ground and use a weight at the bottom) end result resembles the traditional dropshot rig but it's super fast and super simple to tie.
It's actually preformed remarkable well to my surprise, I prefer this over my old oyster rig, this knot works and it works well. What I like most is I can feed my dropshot baits (mostly Zman) further onto the hook and use the weight of the hook to prevent the bait from rising up as the salt dissolves as the plastic floats) It's been my biggest complaint with Zman baits but you don't have to worry about a pinfish or puffer pecking the tail off since it stretches instead of tears.
Glad I found this video. Ive been using this knott but was always annoyed how fiddly it was to tighten without the loops tightening around the shank. I didn't realise that this was supposed to be the way of it!
Hi ncaoai47, I'm from Brazil and I subscribed your channel! Nice tip on that clinch knot that slides to prevent lead from getting stuck in the rock. Congratulations on the post! Thumbs up!
Thank you..... finally something new. I cannot tell you how many times, fisherman have tried to tell me this is how you do this or that.... I think them to be polite. They think because I’m a woman I don’t know anything. I started fishing when I was three or four years old, my father says I caught my first walleye when I was around five. I think I was about eight. I worked as a maid or a boat. I made up fishing rigs for people for deep-sea fishing. Anything to expedite good knots.... is also appreciated.
Your video is so much better than others because u zoom the camera in so we can see what is happening. Thank You! Great Video! I have to try this knot.
This knot for drop shotting is great for any Pound monofilament line. Easy to tie Quick and strong. Also the Hook stands super Straight on the line . 90 degrees from the mainline. This will be my goto knot for all of my drop shotting. Love it and Thanks for Sharing
