    dropper rigging for a Euro leader system

    Which would be your preference for attatching a dropper line onto your main tippet. A) dropper loop with a short tippet section Davy knotted to the loop? Or b) triple surgeons knot using the lower tag to attatch to the fly?
    I have been playing with a) and it seems to give some separation from the main tippet which method b) does not provide. Any thoughts?

    Re: dropper rigging for a Euro leader system

    I just saw Davy's and Toad Hunter's responses on the dropper roller thread. Sorry I should have posted this there. As DW taught us in his clinic, if your dropper tag gets short from changing flies, just trim the tag off and Davy knot a tippet section above the knot. Slide it down and back in business. What I was refering to with the dropper loop is get some separation from the main tippet stem.

    Re: dropper rigging for a Euro leader system

    I was out fishing yesterday and my dropper kept getting wrapped around my leader. The dropper was 5" long, 4X and it was the upper tag end of the surgeons knot. Is that rigging right? If so why was it wrapping around the leader.
    If I attach a dropper with a loop knot, does it have to be a double perfection loop knot? I would think that would have a less chance of tangling.

    I tie it onto the bottom tag. The dropper will wrap around the leader, but when its under the water it comes undone. Tangles and knots are a whole other ballgame.

    Personally right or wrong I enjoy the perfection loop dropper rig. Less tangles and all that for me.

    Killinger,
    As Aaron has stated and has taught many of us on this forum to use the bottom tag of a triple surgeons knot. That works great. Above I was referring to two thoughts. One was a dropper loop . Cross two pieces of tippet and hold on to the tag ends while twisting the two pieces around each other a number of times then slipping the middle section of one through an opening. When you pull tight you will have a loop perpendicular to the tippet. Then you can Davy knot a short section of dropper material and it stays out away from the main tippet. Does any one like this? The other thing was when your dropper tag gets too short, nip it off and Davy knot a new section above the knot and slid it down. This works great. Just one of a thousand tidbits of information you get if you get a chance to take a Davy Wotton clinic.
