Best DROP SHOT KNOT ( Not Palomar )!!!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Best drop shot knot and its not the palomar knot. Palomar knot is the go to knot but this knot is way stronger. Years of fishing the two knots has lead to this conclusion. Best drop shot knot hands down.

Thanks for the info, I've been using a drop shot for a couple years now and im still trying to learn different ways of tying a drop shot.
Your welcome, worked best for me.
It's nice to get opinions and recommendations based on actual practical experience. It's the uniknot now for me. Thanks again.
I explain why it woks better, others complained because I did not just show the knot. I like to know why. Thank you.
The uni know is my favorite knot as well. I used it pretty much for every application but the drop shot. I will definitely be trying this application. I have a feeling that it’s going to work extremely well. Thank you
Same thought I had when I tried it, and it works.
I had the same trouble with the palomar on dropshot. You'll get a similar result using the uni or the trilene knot and running the tag through the eye of the hook after(victory lap). I prefer the trilene, but that's just personal preference. Hook stands up, bait shakes nicely. Bass inhale it.
Just so it does better then the palomar knot I'm happy. Thanks.
Thank you soo much! I tried this knot versus the palomar and dropper loop, and hands down this is way better.. itis also the easiest to make neat. Thanks man
Your welcome I just did not like tying the palomar, so tried the uni and bam a better knot.
Hilarious about the Bullet weight. I always thought why buy expensive weights when you already have weights
That was my same thought.
My favorite Knot, thanks!
Mine to, your welcome.
This is interesting, I think I'll give it a shot next time I use a drop shot. I've become a big fan of the uni knot over the past few years. Started with targeting bigger species but I find I'm using it more when fishing for bass, trout, and even panfish. Especially like it for snelling larger circle hooks.
All I've ever used like I said
I love this knot. I use it for nearly all my knots. In fact I use a clench for the shot at the end because it's more likely than my uni to untie. Can't wait to use it for the hook assembly on my drop rig!
I'm sure it will save you some fish breaking off. Thanks.
Great info. Going to try this for my ultralight drop shot setup too. Thank you.
It helped me not break off fish that's for sure.
Great video! I may start using this knot, I had an absolute monster catfish break my hook off last night... Think he drove me into something but still wouldn't hurt
Live and learn, that's why I make these videos, thanks.
Use large splitshot weight. If snagged pulls off and you save everything else
Yep I've done that, but also when casting the split shot weight flew off and my cast went nowhere backlashing my line.
I can see the logic in this. Thanks
Your welcome, it works.
Thanks for the tip. I find the uni knot easier to tie than a Palomar knot.
That is another plus for this knot. Thanks.
Awesome idea. Thanks
Your welcome, it helped me a lot.
You should try the double pitzen knot, sometimes known as the "shaw Grigsby knot" because he has a video for it, and leave a long tag end of course for the weight. It's the best knot I've tested for fluorocarbon
Okay thanks.
I've hated the drop shot for the exact reason everytime you break off, you then have to tie it all up again at the hook.
I'm definitely going to give the uni to uni a try, maybe I'll have better luck?!
Thanks for sharing!
Yes the palomar knot is not designed for lite line, this knot should help the breaking.
Great tip I’ll give it a try this summer .. 👊👍💙🇨🇦🎣
Thanks, it will help.
Great video, I am going to give it a try after going through so many hooks and weights because of breakage.
I broke off on the drop shot three times yesterday while filming, all three I only broke at the weight.
I used the snell knot yesterday with no break offs. It just works great, thannks again!
Your welcome.
6:30 is the knot! Probably a great rig to double rig for flyfishing too! Thanks for sharing, dude :)
Yes the knot tie comes late but I like to explain why, not just say its the best. Thanks.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Dangelo Terrance Instablaster =)
Thanks
Great tips. Great video as always.
Oh stop, your to kind. LOL.
Thank you,
our welcome my friend.
I tend to break too many fish off the drop shot. will try this knot and see if it helps. I always expected i broke off from not retieing after catching fish but i have broke off fresh rigs before on fish.
Hope the knot helps.
Good tips.
I try.....hahaha.
Have you tried the T knot? its also strong while having the ability to change the hook on the spot without redoing the whole line again. i use it for the high/low set up but nice to learn about other types of knots
New knot to you 30 year old knot to me. haha It works trust it I do......
Dunno if I'm just a dumbass but have always been unable to reliably get the hook to sit with the point up when tying the palomar. Wish I'd seen this video a decade ago. Just tried it your way and said "holy shit" out loud. Thanks for the excellent vid.
Thank you that is the best comment I have had in awhile. I learn I teach glad someone found it helpful.
@@CentralCoastBass Used the uni knot today. Caught a bunch of bass on 4lb mono, got snagged a couple times and had to pull full tilt to break off. It really works. Thanks again.
Good work.
Hello,
can i use a drop shot on a slow flowing river for mullet / maple?
I don't see why not, I would try it.
Like from 🇬🇧👍
Thanks, tight lines.
I will try that...
You should it works.
But can you tie the uniknot in the wind ? When I'll stick with palomar knot. I dont break off fish 8# test landed bass up to 9 #'s been doing it 12 years. i dont worrying about breaking off snags cause you should retie anyways on snags or after muiltiple fish. I can retie it fast under 15 seconds use quality line too that helps. Quick easy strong. Never failed me yet.
Nice been using this knot 40 years but hey we are close. Never failed me yet, can't say the same for your knot. Your to young to know.....move on.
Great video. so only going through twice is plenty strong enough ? as when I tie this knot i usually go through about five times when tying on swivels etc.
Yes and remember its up the line. I do four turns when its at a lures tie.
Would tying a uni knot with a long tag end be basically the same or how is this different?
Its just the knot that's different for the drop shot, its stronger then the palomar. Most people tie the palomar for a drop shot. So yes uni with a long tag end.
Try this with 40 mph winds with blowing 33F rain falling just before sunset. Can you do it.. probably KNOT
Could hardly do it on my porch, lol.
I would KNOT be tying a fucking thing in those conditions unless I was starving and broke lol
If that's the case least you have a good knot. LOL.
Nice video, but I have to disagree. There are some RUclips videos that show different knot strength tests with lab equipment, and the Palomar comes up on top. The reason the Palomar knot breaks for some anglers using fluorocarbon line is incorrect tying. Please look at Jacob Wheeler's video he put out in 2021 on tying the knot.....you have to make sure at the end of tying BEFORE cinching it down that a section of the line is "flipped up" so it won't cut into itself.
If I may make another suggestion. Please try these alternate hook knots which allow for a better 90 degree hook positioning than the Palomar knot. May not be as strong, but positioning is better:
1. "Keep Your Dropshot Hook UP! How To Tie The BEST Knot For Dropshots" by RUclipsr Humbug Outdoors fishing
2. "How To Tie Drop Shot Rig | Fast & Easy Way [ Drop Shot knot ]" by RUclipsr MHR FISHING
Note : They are slightly different ties from each other. The first video leaves the stacks of line on each side TOUCHING the eyelet.
BUT the 2nd video leaves the stacks of line on each side BELOW the eyelet.
I am still playing with which I will rely on more. Hope this helps.
I tie this knot I tell you why, its not difficult you don't have to position anything to make it correct. I tie this drunk half the time and it never breaks. 40 years bass fishing why won't you people realize I know my shit. Thanks for the comment though.
I’m missing something, when I run the tag end back through the hook it still sags, sometimes it sags worse. Any help is appreciated.
By sag do you mean straight down the line because that's normal. It will right when you fish it.
@@CentralCoastBass when I pull the line tight, the hook does not go perpendicular to the line like in your video. I’ve tried several different knots and just can’t seem to figure it out. Driving me nuts because I’ve caught some really big fish on a drop shot when my buddy tied it for me so I really need to figure it out.
@@Stingray-we7kk Are you pointing the hook away from the tip of the rod when running the line? Also what line are you using braid might not work.
@@CentralCoastBass Well, I got it pretty good until I put the tag end through the eye the last time, I guess I just won't do that part. I'm using 8lb FC. Thanks for the help!
Whatever works, I often don't do that myself.
I don't know why I got so confused on this but still trying
Its a little confusing.
You'll get it.
I use 4lb fluoro on a drop shot rig and was just about to give up on the palomar knot because of breakage. Do you recommend putting the tag end through the loop more than twice for light line like 4lb test? If yes, how many times should I go?
Nope twice is good no matter the line test. Thanks for the response.
@@CentralCoastBass I gave up on the drop shot using the palomar knot because of frequent break-offs. I have to tell you, I didn't have any break-offs after a full day of fishing using your uni knot rig. Thank you very much for the tip.
I was a die hard palomar user until I went to fluro. They just don’t mix! I went to San Diego jam with fluro and no more issues but gonna try the uni trick on drop shots thanks!
Proof positive, thanks for the feed back.
Your welcome.
so why didn't you use the paloma knot on the weight if its weaker
I did use it on the palamar on the weight, that's how I figured out the uni was strongar.
why not do uni to palomar or better yet just a couple of over hands for the weight so that it breaks off easier , even a clinch with 2 to 3 wraps should be good
That all would be fine but most drop shot weights although more expensive You don't tie them. You just put the line through the crimped area so they pull off if snagged.
@@CentralCoastBass got it but for any other that need to be knotted it makes sense i guess even though id hate to lose those too
Thanks
@@CentralCoastBass glad you showed how to do the uni knot at the end ,looks a bit different on the drop shot then others i seen for the hook or line to line or uni snell etc
If you tie the palomar knot correctly, It will work just fine. If you have the palomar knot breaking on you then you aren't tying it correctly.
Your incorrect the weakness of the palomar knot is the fact it digs into itself even if tied correctly. Tie it on heavy line it won't break its self, tie it on light line with pressure and it cuts through itself. Check the facts about the knot, these issues will come up.
@@CentralCoastBass
You are wrong again. It will only dig into itself if it is tied wrong.
Both lines on the eyelet must be parallel and not crossed.
@@ejzabojnik834 Either way it does not have the same strength in tests as the uni knot at least in all the information I have found.
7:54 looked fine so why did you bother putting the tag through the eye ?
It helps keep it straight with the line and more straight out from the line.
@@CentralCoastBass thats what i figured but it looked straight without that so that is why i was wondering, thx for the quick replies
Thanks again for the response.
@@CentralCoastBass catching up on old comments huh lol
think you want to lay off the drink
Thanks, I did haven't had a drink in a year. Of course I did have a stroke.
No no no bad vid didn’t get any if that ?
What????????????
Sorry but yes good idea with the uni but here in the uk we use an adjustable weight so we can search for fish at different depths and if we snag we will lose that weight as it isn’t tied on does that make sense?
This isn’t critical reasoning logic. At least, as spoken
I guess.
are you at Lopez or Nacimiento?
I filmed at both lake, lopez only on a boat.
@@CentralCoastBass great tips, thanks for the videos
Your welcome.
First
Hog Hauler Fishing 😂
First to learn great info...yes. At least I hope.
do not like it, or will tie it again.......
To each his own.
Nothing wrong with using either knot… but with lighter line you can’t see when your line is crossed over the doubled Palomar knot …and it will cut into one of the Palomar doubled lines and most assuredly break … a simple fix/trick is to tie a simple overhand knot just above your weight … that’ll be your weak link and it will break at that overhand knot…
Good tip, thanks.
Way to much talking. Just show how to tie.
I like to explain why its better, most people just skip to the tie if that's all they want to see.
Talk talk talk talk for SIX MINUTES before you got to the point. Bye bye!
Had a story to tell.
You talk too much. Show us how to tie the knot
I like to explain why its better just not say its better.
Very complicated and so I do not like it
To each his own.
@@CentralCoastBass indeed
6.26 into this and your ready to tie the stupid knot. christ on a crutch is faster than you......
I like to give a history of why its the best not just say its the best with nothing to back it up. Most bass fisherman just believe the hype and not the facts.
