brenton 637 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Dropper loops or brass rings,i don't really the 3 ways myself. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FushLups 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I find dropper loops a piece of cake to tie, but to save tangles surely a 3 way swivel would be the way to go I'd reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tonyb 1,017 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Double blood knot, same as the Fly Fishers use as droppers, or for making tapered leaders from different line thicknesses:fishing: Been using it for mullet/YFW/St rigs forever, no tangles and it stands straight off too, if your nylon is stiff enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tako 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 For larger species when using a paternoser rig i find that the droppper loop is the weakest link for me. It is not at the knot but the loop itself. I used to use 3way swivels without any trouble years ago, but they take longer to tie up. Mayby give the 3way a go, i know i am next time (dropping 5 big snapper in a session is not fun).Depending what and where you are fishing for, maybe try a running rig.

1ONMEPILLIE 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I personally use the Twisted dropper loop 8)Never had a problem actually most people i know ask me to make there whiting & snapper rigs just because of how neatly they sit :-*easy as to tie too ;)Cheers Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plankton 725 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Im just using it off the beach for big mulloway,sharks and raysI prefer the twisted dropper for smaller line/fish, say up to 20 pound line for things like salmon or snapper, but for bigger stuff (mullies, rays, sharks) I think you're better off with either a three-way or a running paternoster rig - you can use a brass ring or a swivel on your main line above the swivel that attaches to your trace, and remember to use lighter line for the sinker lead so if it gets snagged it will bust off and you'll get the rest of your rig back.

kayakfisher 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 On calmer beaches I just use the dropper loops as the 3 way swivels, as has been said before, means 3 knots to tie and 3 knots to fail. On surf beaches with more swell and current I use 3 way swivels. Too many headaches caused by line twist and I believe that you need your rig sitting the best you can to get the most bites and hookups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brooksey_134 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 just use a noraml swivel and tie the sinker line of that aswel as the leader to the hooks, its easier stronger than 3 way swivels and i get no tangles on it even in heavy surf and swell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Here is another I use from time to time,it holds the trace out straight and doesnt tangle plus is very strong.Too hard to explain but I"ve found a pic,its called either the stand off knot or grand banks knot.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pescados 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 A common problem which I have been blessed with too .hissy.I normally use a dropper loop.I don't know anything about the big stuff but gar,salmon, mullet etcI find that if I keep the top hook as short as possible eg no more than 75 mm than it reduces the tangles by 95%.
