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.

Always fished with my grandmother and she always made the poles for us.She was diagnosed with Alzheimers earlier this year and can’t remember how to fix up a pole, so so so glad I found this video when I looked up how to rig a pole. Now we can continue our tradition ❤

Yours is the same but more informed. Thank you! Tight lines

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..🤟🎣🙏

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.

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?

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.

@TeMeister 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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?
