I have used the original knot you showed with great success but will definitely give this one a try! Thanks for both videos!

Okay, that's even better. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks homie !!!!

I've been using this knot off and on for about 2 yrs; it's basically the same principal as tying a dropper loop for surf leaders, except the hook is what's in the middle of the two side coils. It's a great knot with one con.... depending on the type of hook eye you have, if it is not a closed/welded hook eye, the line can eventually become damaged by the hook eye. But you tied a great knot and it works a majority of the time. If I'm not in a hurry or pre-rigging in front of the tv, I use this knot. But if I'm on the boat and wanna get a dropshot rigged quickly, good ol' palomar gets the mission. Thanx for sharing this great vid!!

Proper drop shot hook direction and angle is not talked about enough. 👍👍👍

I will have to try this. Drop shot has been working like crazy for me lately. Go Buckeyes!

Used your original ds knot and worked. Loved the way you can slide the hook at the exact spot you want it, and it stays upright. Slaying largemouth out here in So Cal throwing easy shiners off the ds.

Looks very good. I will try. Thanks 😊

After watching your last one ,, I was going to do this ,,But I tied it like your other video and it works great !! fished it most of the day i was out had a couple snags and never broke off 👌 but I'll go with your new & improved version .. 👊🤟

As a Michigan fisherman, why would I ever listen to a guy wearing an ohio state shirt? He He He. Thanks for sharing buckeye. 🤪

Here's a question I have an I don't have a clue if it will matter at all. Does the load actually spread out across both lines going through the eye of the hook? That's what makes the palomar knot strong. The weight isn't on just one line. It's easy to put the line through again, but if it doesn't change the stress on the line and one line is still getting all of it, then I'm not sure this solves anything. Would be worth finding a way to test.

Go BUCKS!

I've always been concerned the line will find it's way to where the eye of the hook meets the shank. That area is very sharp and under pressure of a fighting fish looks susceptible to abrasion and breakage. For that reason I haven't really tried this knot.

Nice

Came across this recently and I’m going to try it. Not a fan of the Palomar.

Meh...I like your original one better. This one is harder to tie for some reason. Great vids!

I’ve literally caught tens of thousands of fish using the Palomar, keep it simple kids.

I do the same not. I like to thread with hook down then twist the line when rotating line the hook rights itself then I put hook through the twisted line then pull tight. Same line tie just different. That’s the way I like to do it.

Concern is not strength but your losing allot of action in your bait with that knot. Look at it underwater. Why are we worried about drop shot knots?
