Interesting way to tie a drop shot knot. Looks like it makes the hook stand out. I might try the double hook rig. The guy is obviously a carp guy but I see no reason not to adapt this to bass fishing. Maybe not legal in all 50?

Pretty similar to putting a dropper loop for crappie fishing isn't it?
I'm wondering if this would help with line twist?
That's what I thought of when I saw it.
Seems like you'd lose a lot of action this way, no? Instead of having the relatively small, precise "fulcrum" you have with the normal Palomar knot attachment where the hook sort of angles up and down and dances your offering when you shake the rod tip, seems like this makes the hook more a part of the line for lack of a better way being able to describe it and would remove a lot of action. I don't know if that makes sense at all...

Pretty slick & simple way of tying it. Thanks for showing.
Thanks, that really stands hook out well. Gonna give it a shot
Check your line strength with this knot. I had some break off so I ran a number and tested them with a scale, pulling on the hook and then trying the weight end as well. Not happy with it. May try again, but at this point I will not use it.
Appreciate the heads up
Looks great will give it a try.
A very easy drop shot knot i found was a video getting Knotty with mike ---drop shot Knot. Very simple and hooks stands out like it should

Tried it all last year. Like it a lot.
If this video makes you consider using two or three hooks on a Dropshot rig, you are welcome to it. I used two hooks on my DS rod last season and it was a PITA. Was going to try 3! No more. Season before, I used a finesse jig on the bottom instead of a DS sinker, and that worked a lot better. My next attempt will be to use a Shakyhead on the bottom, now that I have a stout enough spinning rod to try it on. It'll be 20 lb braid, 10 lb FC leader.
You should read your State's regs, but most allow 3 hooks per line, if not more. Whatever you're allowed to use on an A-rig is likely ok for DS.
