Thank you very much... that's an excellent review!

Hey thanks for the comment. Yep, although there are certainly easier knots out there... once mastered this is a great one!

@@spikeymikeyangling6218 Thanks again! Can't wait to get out on the water and try out this new knot.

Thank you for that. And thanks for watching too!

Thank YÒU. I really appreciate all comments... good or bad, and I hope you find it useful.

Thank you for watching and for the kind commenr.

Thank you very much... and thanks for commenting too, I appreciate the feedback.

Easy when you get it. Hope you catch shed loads!

You're welcome,and thanks for watching.

Thank YOU, for watching the vid! Good luck with that rig!

Me too..

And thanks for watching... glad you liked the knot ;)

Well done! Glad the knot worked for you.

Exactly

Better too

Thank YOU for viewing! Although initially a little trickier to actually tie than some of the alternatives you soon get used to it. I've found this is a great knot!

spikey mikey angling I really like the way the hook sits nicely upward. I’ve always used the Palomar method, & it was always hit or miss whether the hook would sit correctly …I retried my D/S set-up as soon as I viewed your video. Thanks again! 🎣

After a month using this knot, I can say I really like it…ALOT! Thanks again for sharing! 👊🏽

Ditto!!!

Ditto!!! Everything is better with this .... knot looks super strong + position of hook in the knot & hook point for bait presentation looks awesome! I've been researching different ways of increasing my drop shot hookup & landing ratio & I'm certain that this is gonna be the single most reason for any improvement .... tysvm for sharing! I'll be sure to pass on the knowledge!!! 🎣💪

Thank you! :)

Thank you

Thanks, that's great to hear. Good luck with that rig. Hope you catch a monster!

Thank You for watching:)

Thanks for watching the video and good luck!

use it anywhere

Hi. When I first started dropshotting I originally tried the palomar version but found it to be very inconsistent in that often the hook didnt present correctly. I was re tying my rig far to often to fish effectively. After much searching and trialling a few alternatives I saw Albin Sharghi from Kanalgratis demonstrate this knot. The hook up rate of this knot far surpasses that of the palomar variant too!

@@spikeymikeyangling6218 Hi again, although this knot looks increadibly good and does make the hook stand out perfect, it just does not have the strength of the Palomar knot. I do hate how the hook sits with the Palomar, but it is just so much stronger. I have tested at least 12 times this knot, done very carefully, well moistened the line and well seated, but it does not even come to 50% of the line strength. I am using 8lb flurocarbon and it breaks so easily. With the Palomar, I have difficulty breaking it. This knot might be good for small perch, but a 2kg bass will break this everytime. My search continues...

Hi again. Ithanks. I've noted your comments. I have to say although any knot will have an impact upon line breaking strength ive never had any issue at all with this one. To be fair I never tie this with anything lighter than 12lb flourocarbon. The venues I fish often hold the odd big pike... and I've landed many, along with the odd double figure carp plus many 5lb chub and barbel that have taken micro lures too. I also use this knot regularly for LRF sea fishing and have landed many species including the odd big bass, pollock, and wrasse... all hard fighting fish. I play anything I hook hard too. I dont fish light lines and consequently dont loose many fish. But hey, there are many different methods of attaching your hook and whilst this one works for me right now there are more ways than one to skin a cat. Good luck with your search and thanks again for your comments... it's what makes this all much more interesting. Tight lines :)

Ethan M palomars are too thick through small hook eyes. I have a particular small lure I use for big fish (zman trd tubes) that fit size 2 Ewg hooks, and 12lb leader material can’t do a Palomar through those tiny eyes.

I agree with Ethan M. I discovered the knot in this video for dropshotting about 4 yrs ago. While it does make/hold the Dropshot hook in a much better perpendicular to the leader position, its strength is terrible for light lines of 6-8 lb test for largemouth bass fishing, which is my target fish. I stopped making this “dropper loop” knot in favor of a double uni with the tag end coming back thru the hook eye from the top to finish the presentation. The double uni is incredibly strong and a better alternative (for me) than other dropshot knots. Also, a good number of hooks either have an unfinished burr on the end of its eyelet or a small gap that can rough up this “dropper loop” knot this yt video depicts...beware.

Hey thank you, and good luck with that knot!

grazie. Sto mangiando salsicce per il mio tè

This one is sooooo much better than the Palomar used as a dropshot knot! Thanks for commenting. :)

You know it makes sense:)

dropper loop

I was scrolling through hoping not to see this response because it looks like an awesome alternative to the palomar. Thanks for putting in the extra work, man. I'll stick with the tried and true. Still a great knot demo.

Thanks for shortening my learning curve advising the knot strength not being sufficient on smaller gage line. As a trout fisherman that uses 4-6 lb. So in addition to the strength limitation The 12lb test posses another serious problem in that the discerning trout are suspicious regardless how good your lure and presentation is. To bad its a deal kill as I really like the knot also Love the no choreography short video.

Palomar knot is weak, Uni Knot is much better
