Tying Dropper Loops

Posted on by

Dropper loops at great for teaser rigs and for chunking rigs. The easiest way to tie a dropper loop is by using a jig; for example, the Fish360 Dropper Loop Jig. 😉

STEP 1
Wrap the line around the two bottom pegs; then around one of the top pegs; and then back around the two bottom pegs. Secure the tag end on the clip. In effect, you have formed a triangle.

STEP 2
Using your two hands, wrap the two lines between the top bottom pegs until you can only fit the tip of your finger between them.

STEP 3
Remove the loop from the top peg and pass it through the gap between the two twisted lines on the bottom. Secure the loop back on the top peg and tighten the knot.

I am exhibiting and presenting at the New England Saltwater Fishing Show this weekend.  I will be in booth 1130, which is towards the educational area.

This year I am presenting Chunking the Surf.  I will be covering how to select and use the optimal gear for the species you are targeting (striped bass, bluefish, sharks, and rays); how to determine the best spots and times to fish; and field-tested tips and tricks.  At the end of each seminar, I will be doing a give away for a custom DIY Dropper Loop Jig.

I have tied some of my favorite custom teasers and tails to raise money for the Open Source Fish360 Journal Project.  These teasers and tails feature proven fish catching color patterns tied using a multi-layered threading and epoxy process on strong bleeding sharp hooks.  Keep in mind that Tony Stetzko landed a 73 lb striped bass from the surf on a teaser! 😉
