How to Tie Tungsten Drop Shot Weight-1

The drop shot rig is one of the most effective finesse tactics that isn't limited to certain conditions or locations. We show you the proper way to tie the drop shot rig along with some sound advice and tips on nose hooking your bait, leader lengths and drop shot weights.

Let's talk about how to tie the drop shot rig. What you're going to need is your fluorocarbon line and your drop shot hook. We're going to tie a standard palomar knot, so take your line and insert it into the eye of the hook once and pull it through quite a bit, about 3 feet through. Now take that line and run it back through the eye to double up the line and pinch it tight just like this. Now tie your palomar knot and be careful not to twist the line when tying it. Lubricate the fluorocarbon line before cinching the knot down.

Now listen up, this is the important part. Take your tag end and come back down through the eye of the hook. This is important because this is what makes the hook ride upright and perpendicular to the main line. Now you should have a real long tag end, and that is what you are going to use to tie the rest of your leader with. Actually, you don't even need to tie the weight onto this leader.
