When using a dropper rig, it is extremely helpful to use a loop knot so that you can quickly and easily change your weight sizes without even having to re-tie any knots.

This video shows how to tie a Dropper Rig Knot using the very strong and easy to tie Surgeon’s knot.

Although there is a knot that’s actually called a “Dropper Rig Knot”, I highly recommend using the Surgeon’s Loop knot shown in this video because it’s much easier to tie and it proved to be the stronger of the two in when I did some strength testing on them.

Best of all, these loop knots allow for an extremely fast change of weight sizes (and even hook sizes too if using this knot up the line).
