Learn how to tie a Dropper loop to create a strong Paternoster rig for a range off reef species like Red Emperor, Large Mouth Nannygai, Coral Trout, Jewfish, Pearl Perch, Snapper and more. It's also ideal for other bottom feeding species like whiting, Flathead, sharks and more.

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.

Can relate to what you are saying. Seen many demonstrate the tying of a paternoster rig. But some are hard to follow. This one is very user friendly

Thanks for that Greg. The granny knot at the hook is a great idea.

@@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.

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8lobLmLnrDPfmQ.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.

@acelilumelody4445 7 ай бұрын

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?

@WD-41469 9 ай бұрын

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 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 …

@gregswickedfishing 9 ай бұрын

I've used it on all hooks and even ones with bent shank. Just make sure you try to help it slip down nicely onto the eye as your pulling it tight.

A simple single overhand knot for the sinker is all you need , it will pull out if your sinker gets hung up .

@WD-41469 9 ай бұрын

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.
