Let's talk knots "Roy Rose Knot"
For those who are interested this is a knot thats good for doubling the line or for making a dropper loop. Stronger than the regular dropper loop and stronger than the spider hitch. Invented by Roy Rose of the Royal Polaris, it's a strong knot for sure.
First step double the line to however long you want the loop. Second step make a loop with the doubled line. Third step make 5 overhand wraps. Fourth step pull together, making sure that all 4 legs of the knot are even when cinching down. (critical!) Fifth step Cinch down, should look something like this. If you want to fish a dropper cut the loop to whatever length you desire, and tie on your hook and sinker.

Can you just tie my knots at the launch?
I will let you follow me on the water. Trying it out right now, thanks Tony. |

A Surgeons knot that you go through 5 times with rather than two?

I learned it with 6 turns. Wonder what the difference is. A lot of people use 3 way swivels these days.

Basically yeah, it's a surgeons loop with 5 wraps rather than two. It's definitely stronger than the 2 turn surgeons loop. If you guys think you can use it great! If the knot offends anybody for some reason then don't use it. Just showing an alternative to the standard dropper loop is all. I have a few more really offending knots for everyone later!
By the way nice fish mike!!! Didn't know you got a PA either!

Please quit trying to help Tony, your just creating drama. Since the "I want timely reports" drama has fizzled out the boys need something new to sink their teeth into Now show that spectra to leader knot, the one you showed me the other day... But call it the Fulrac knot to better the chance of a good old fashion drama hook up.
