I learned the Palomar Knot about fifeteen years ago while night fishing.

My fishing roots go back to freshwater bass fishing with my brother Spencer where we would fish the ponds on our farm and those of our neighbors. The artificial baits that we found produced the best results were always plastics, specifically jerk baits like Slug-gos, plastic lizards, purple Berkley Power Bait were ous plastic of choice, and also purple worms with a curly tail.

The Dropper Knot is a great easy and quick way to put a loop in your line or leader to allow you to attach another lure or hook to your exiting line. I use this knot for everything from bottom fishing, light tackle fishing to my fly fishing when I often fish two flies. This knot is very popular among bottom fishing anglers who fish for catfish, crappie, perch etc..and use multiple baits. In addition this knot can be used if you are bottom fishing and do not have a three way swivel handy, you can use this knot to attach your lead sinker. With all its applications and simple steps to tie, it’s good to have this knot in your arsenal. The four easy steps:
Step 1: Make a loop in your line where you want to position your loop
Step 2: Pinch the line with your fingers where the two lines cross and wrap the circle/loop around the two pinched lines approximately five times.
Step 3: Now take the loop and put it though the space where the two lines where pinched.
