Dropper Loop

[YTHunter]

what sleeves are you using on either side of the beads?

These work especially well...

I don't think the previous suggestions involving swivels will work. The OP isn't worried about line twist of the mainline or the dropper, it's that the dropper is being wrapped around the mainline on the way up or down.

The only way without tying a short loop, which the OP doesn't want to do, is to use wire that won't bend. Then you can keep your dropper line away from your mainline.

I've never gotten tangled using those swivels. Bait swims around and it doesn't wrap the line either.

Yup, swivels will work if the bait is causing your tangle. I interpreted his problem on the drop or the retrieve since he mentioned "dropping more slow".

Either way, I hope he finds the solution to his problem.

He was actually asking "other than dropping my rig slower". So it seems he already tried this. Which is why we are giving him other suggestions...

How in the EFF do i Get my Dropper loop hooks to not twist and create a mess on the main line????

Short, stiff line on the dropper. Only need an inch or two.

YakDout, I understand you point, but I'm confused about the OP's issue. If he's trying to prevent bait from fouling him up at the bottom, I understand the 3-way swivel will work. If he's trying to prevent the line to the hook from fouling on the way up or down, I don't see how a 3-way swivel will totally prevent that situation. He would need something like coat hanger wire.

Let me know if I've totally misunderstood this entire thread...

No I think you are right, and now I am also confused with the OP. He may have answered his question in his first post. Wind in and drop down slower. Or your suggestion of using a short piece of wire to keep the hook line away from main line. I used to somewhat have this problem until I figured out what lengths to run the weight and hook lines

The Issue I have is the Loops actually twisting themselves along the mainline like a tether ball... I Don't use swivels Just two dropper loop knots with a sinker at the end of the main line may be part of my issue as well, but I did kind of answer it originally because I have the most issues with the Dropper set up on a spinner, whereas I feel like it happens less when I have a dropper on the conventional but it's still happening...



these are the crap swivels I stopped using a while ago... I Will for sure take up all your guys Line and Swivel recommendations and put them to test.. Much appreciated!

Now that's pretty cool, maybe I should have applied for a patent .

I think the crimp sleeves I used are Squidco size A2.

I haven't had this type of rig tangle up on me. Of course, your mileage may vary.
