There are plenty of knots you can use for a dropper loop but the basic set up is a wieght on the bottom and the hook riding in the loop above. A reverse dropper put the wiehgt in the loop and the hook out on the single line. As to clicker/free spool ect, it depends on what bait your using. With a squid of small fin bait fishing in gear is fine. The fish can take the bait in one quick inhale. I keep the drag light but enough to set the hook. If you're fish a big bait then free spool and clicker or thumb on is the way to go. Mike

Usually when I fish a dropper I keep it out of gear, clicker off and thumb the spool. I'll only put the clicker on if I have to put the rod in the holder, but still in freespool.

X2 what Mike said
I like using the surgeons loop, easy and strong. Also, when fishing in conditions where the bait is all gathered on the bottom, sometimes 5feet thick, I like running an extra long tag line for the weight, like 5-6ft....this keeps your bait from hiding against the bottom with the rest of the bait when the preditors come thru, making your freaked out bait stick out like a sore thumb. With the smaller easily inhailed baits i like using large 5/0-7/0 circle hooks. Reel out of gear, bait clicker on, drag set. Here's a good "how to" from this site. http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...dsh-squid/Page |

Thanks for the feed back, I do something a little different. I put a small swivel on the loop then tie a floro leader to it. Is that still a dropper rig, Or is it a drooper rig |
