How To Tie The Dropper Rig (Fast & Easy Way)

- In this video, I’m going to show you how to tie a dropper rig so you can catch more sheepshead and mangrove snapper (plus a ton of other species).
One of the best ways to catch these fish is by fishing with live bait, like shrimp or fiddler crabs, on the bottom, and one of my favorite ways to rig them is with a dropper rig.
However, many people tie this rig the wrong way, which leads to them getting easily broken off by big fish.
Watch the video below to see step-by-step instructions on how to tie this rig the quick and easy way.

Finally! I’m a beginner and using a bright colored thread gave me a clear visual. Also, talking through it helped tremendously. Thank you thank you thank you. “Hook above the weight” great pointers!
We need more great teachers like you, people need a thorough explanation with clear visuals it is definitely a learned skill but great video im confident I can learn to this rig for pier fishing with friends :)
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
@@Saltstrong you simplified this rig and the knots so much, I watched another video and the guy used some incredibly complex knots, i'd sub you guys 10 times if I could
You were my third video & I appreciate how clear & easy the directions were! Thank you so much! ☺️
Was able to catch fish using this rig, thank you so much. I might use split shot bullet weights to avoid my sinker from getting stuck on the bottom. But overall, a great rig!!!
Ty so much! The algo kept bringing up all this new technology using clicks and whatnots that I do not want to go purchase. About a year ago I ran across a video of a 14 yo boy laying out a string for trot line in his living room floor using this simple method which I could not remember how he tied it. Yours is the same but more informed. Thank you! Tight lines
Thanks so much for watching glad we could help!
It took me a while to tie the sinker on, but I finally figured it out. Thank you!
super clear! im new to fishing and just started hitting up fishing charters with my friends. i feel like such a chump asking the crew members to rig my line for me. this is exactly what the line they rig for me looks like. now i know how!
So glad we could help!
that was my favorite set up, but haven't fished in a decade because all my best spots became too crowded, but I just found the perfect place and the weather is wonderful and there is nothing like having a baby to make you fancy staring out at the sea for an hour or two :)
Good luck out there!
Nice rig. That's the type of rig I use when I'm doing bottom fishing in not too deep water and it's great when you are fishing in current. Excellent rig.
Douglas Fields thank you for the great feedback!
Thank you so much this was the only video that helped me can finally go out for a fish in this hot weather what a legend ❤
So glad we could help!
Thanks for the awesome rig. I went fishing this mornig and your rig works great I caught a 17 inch bat ray fought for a little while but the rig did the job.
We used this rig in the northeast for bottom fishing. We would also tie a single overhand knot just below the dropper knot going to the weight so if the weight gets caught in the rocks, etc.... the single knot would break and salvage our caught fish.
Great job. You really made this simple to understand, I’ll be fishing with me son with a better understanding of the how to of fishing. Thanks again.
Tried this and it worked great. Learned something new and I am now catching more fish can feel most everything that is trying to get the bait. TY Tight Lines Bud👍👍👍
Wow you are a grest fisherman & teacher, i loved that video, very easy & simple, now i see i can have a drop line for my hook instead of a loop, thank you, 👍
Thanks for your support!
Thanks i am 10 years old and you help me allot in your vidoe of how to tie an weight
Thank you so much for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for without all the typical internet BS that usually comes before the necessary info. Thanks again and keep up the good work :)
Thank you. Clear and concise. Gonna try this today. Newport beach pier.
Great vid bro. I just finished my 1st season not fishing, but kayak fishing. Bank fishing, you're really limited, and use simple knots, dad taught us all. Finally this summer I just fun fished, but really tested, and learned, how I wanted my setup, on my Oldtown 120, Pwd by Minn-kota, and setting up my bixpy, gear, equipment, fishing storage. Many people show you the rig, fly through it. As if new anglers, know all these knots. Thanks, needed to learn that setup. The non slip knots, are the same. But the drop shot, ned, and texas rig, you really need a few miles, in your boat. A-Plus video..🤟🎣🙏
Thank you! Tied this river fishing and caught a nice drum on the first cast, worked like a charm!
Nice work!
Love the fact I can change out the weight with this method. I was fishing in the gulf last week with strong current and could not change to a larger weight because I had it fixed. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting this video, I always found THAT type of dropper loop MUCH easier to tie than another frequently used way of tying them, & it's encouraging to see that even Pros like you guys use them.
What's also interesting, and good news, is that the line to the sinker in this rig is weaker than the line in the dropper loop. Just out of curiosity, what makes it weaker?
Best video I've seen on this. Thanks! I fish VA Beach surf and piers.
I agree
Great Video I always wanted to learn how to rig these sinkers, perfect rig for current fishing too. Thank you!
Glad to help
Thank you so much for sharing.
This video was a big help in learning how to tie for saltwater fishing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a hell of lot, this is like rigging for dummies and I appreciate it
Thanks for the support!
Great Rig! I posted a video about this a while back,this has saved me from getting skunked countless of times! 👊
Great video, finally someone broke it down simply. How would I incorporate a snap swivel on the sinker using this method? In what instance would I even need a snap swivel. Thank you sir.
For a snap swivel just tie the leader onto the swivel and clip the weight (sinker) onto the snap swivel. I wouldn't use a snap swivel because even just on small trout I've had the swivel slip and unclip itself mid fight. A snap swivel is good just for quick changes whether it's a sinker to a lure, or a lure to a sinker. Don't use snap swivels to attach directly to a hook.
Thanks for the tutorial. Tied it tonight, testing in the morning!
Nice and simple, safe me on extra accessories 👍✌️
Thank you for the video. You mentioned it’s about 1.5 -2 feet long loop but I have a few other questions.
what’s the distance from last hook to the sinker?
What’s the distance between the two hooks?
What’s the distance from the leader connection to the first hooks?
What’s the distance of the hook from the main leader knot?
Thank you
Nice rig excellent video too.
Very simple and easy, can't wait to try it.
John Flavel thank you for the great feedback!
This Rig...
FANTASTIC
This trace helped a lot, thanks
Thanks for the nice comment! We appreciate the support!
Thank you! This is the correct way to do it. Other folks got it all wrong.
Thanks!
I use a T-knot for that . Pretty much the same knot, but reinforced w/ the dropper loop knot. Its probably over kill, but its pretty and i like the way it sticks my hook straight out to the side.
That is definitely better but just harder to tie
Thanks from South Africa.
Nice and easy ,good teaching
This rig worked amazing caght me some gulf kingfish and pompano
Awesome!
@@Saltstrong thanks for the video!
Love the easy how-to steps! I haven’t been able to use it just yet, but I do have one question, if anyone can help me out. When I set it up, I noticed the hook began to spin around cleanly with no tangle for a little bit before it wrapped around the weight line. Should I be concerned that this will happen while I’m out fishing?
Awesome explanation man! Thanks for the help.
Prefect video for new guys that into fishing like me 👍👏
Glad to hear it!
Wow! This is the best on tying knots etc. You keep it simple clear instructions.😎🇺🇸😁😁😁🐠🐠
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Straight to the point and informative. Thanks
Thanks for checking it out, we are glad you like it!
amazing and cool brother You're Awesome
Great video man I couldn't have done a better job myself
took me a few tries but got it! thanks!!
Best rig i've ever used
Great video!
I was just wondering if you could tie a loop for your hook like you did with the tag line in case you wanted to swap out hooks? Or would that tangle the line too bad?
Thanks for sharing bruu!
Amazing! thank you
Great point re the mainline in-line with the hook Franz
My fool proof way to make sure I tie the sinker to the right piece of line; I tie the weight onto the tag end first, then cut the loop and tie the hook to the other end.
Thanks for the input!
Thank you for this video. I have now made a dozen rigs for an outing. Can anyone recommend a storage method for easy and efficient access?
There are good tips in this video: www.saltstrong.com/articles/the-ins-and-outs-of-beach-fishing-with-capt-b/
@@Saltstrong Thanks. I shouldn't have been so lazy and should have first done a quick search on UA-cam, where there are many tutorials for storage devices, the simplest being a cardboard rectangle with slots for wrapping rigs, about three rigs per cardboard rectangle.
Thanks!! That is a knot I can tie all day!! :)
Glad to help!
exactly what I was looking for
Me too,
Lol same
Mean job brother 💯
This was really awesome bro thanks I really appreciate these tips I definitely subscribed bro
Great video. This will save me TONS of money
Thanks for watching! More money to buy more tackle :)
Thank you for the easy lesson. You rock. 👍
Thank you for watching!
Hi friend...! interesting demonstration of how to put together a fishing earring, could you do the demonstration with two hooks?
Beautiful well done 👍
Good explanation!
Why do you not use a 3-way swivel instead?
Thanks
Queation... does this rig work on blue fish..because I was always told to use metal leaders but also told metal leaders dont well and doesnt attract fish as much as mono...what set up would I use for blues?
Helped tremendously
Awesome video! Insanely easy!
Glad it helped!
Visuals on point and easy step by step how to!
Glad it was helpful!
Used this and caught a meter bull shark of the beach nots didn’t slip at all
Thanks mate
It's easy to forget this, cause it's so simple.
Great tip, thanks.
John no problem and thank you!
Thank you that is as simple as it gets 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I’m sold. Boutta go catch a river monster tomorrow morning. Lol thank you so much!
What did you get?
A good size stick
Thank you so much
Thank you my friend 👏🤝🌹❤🌹🤝🤝🙏🙏
At 2:00, I was taught that that's called a surgeons dropper loop. If it helps with research!
Came here right after snapping my line cause I’m determined to catch a fish that’s not a spot today
I like this idea. It looks easy to do it. Excellent🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
@@Saltstrong after watching your video, i followed your instruction, it works perfect and i went fishing on the same day 👍☺
Excellent. Best I have seen.thank you
So nice of you, thanks!
Thank u for the vid , very helpful, looking forward to watchin more🤙🏿
You're welcome! Be sure to check out our page...lots of videos. And we have great content on our website as well www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tips/
Great video!!
Does it work with more then one hook?
Is there any type of baits that work best with the rig?
What if were running a jig would this work the same? I have seen poeple attach weights using rubber bands any video on that?
Thanks mate clever
Im new to fishing and was looking for something like this. I have braided line, but I have mono on one reel and like it because it seems more simple to just use mono for inshore type of fishing. TY!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video.
Thx man boutta start going fishing and bought these kinda wieghts now I needa buy other stuff once I can get a ride
I have plenty of hook just need fishing line and pole which I have enough for it but need ride
Use it all the time because it's easy, quick and simple; I use it both fresh and salt water because of that fact! Tight Lines, Tony, another great video...
Thank you 🙏
Thank you! It is really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
surgeons loop knot. i use this to dropshot all my largemouth on 6-8lb line max like 2 foot up usually more around 1 foot from weight though.. usually ill just do my loops smaller like a couple inches just to give the bait more movement then all the guys doing regular dropshot. and to keep it off the bottom where the snags are. whats nice about it also.. if you tie the weight with a weaker knot a lot of snags you can lose your weight and not hook.. though i would say its 50/50 from the banks because you are dragging uphill more then a boat. but ya in ocean if you rockfish.. do a couple hooks like this 2 foot off bottom one 4 foot off bottom.. you can get some sick double ups ect.. also it makes changing weights and hooks easy.. but on lighter line you sometimes lose that with the weights since the line is so small. i like this because its easier then a real dropper loop to tie and i just do three times around for my hook and 2 for weights. i dont cut it with scissor though.. whats nice about the surgeon loop knot you can tie it anywhere on the line.. and its strong.. i havent lost a fish from my rig breaking for a very long time with just using the hooks the same way you do the weight.. knock on wood.
this is good for fluke right? can u demonstrate with two hooks and the weight?
Could you use the loop for the hook too, or did you tie that permanent for a reason?
Thanks!!
Do you know if this works for walleye fishing???
Rigging up my Vulcan to make quick escapes to one of the 100 lakes, ponds and rivers within a 2 hr ride.
What type of water and fish do you use this rig with??? Thanks
Great video
