Knot Identification

[wisconsin heat]

Can someone help me Identify this knot? Knot Starts at 9:18.

 

The way this guy tied it makes it look like a great alternative to a palomar when it comes to dropshotting. I can only get the palomar right about 50% of the time, the first time. This knot had the hook sitting PERFECTLY. If you are familiar with this knot, please chime in!!!

Look similar to Japanese dropshot knot that I always use.

 

Sorry for hi-jack your thread.

BTW Im very interested in that rubber bead that hold plastic in place. I've been searching high and low for that, I saw a guy on YouTube do some hack (don't remember what) with this thing but can't find it anymore. If anyone know where I can find that (Zman use this on Zman hook call it bait keeper) please let me know.

I don't know what it's called, I just call it a dropshot knot. I was shown it 10 or more years ago by a Dutch friend when I was fishing in Holland with him. For all it's simplicity, it's a surprisingly strong knot. I don't remember ever breaking off at the hook with it. Found a video of it.

Yeah! Those knots do look similar if not identical! Thanks for the reply. As far as the rubber bead goes, could you use a rubber bobber stop?

Thanks for the share! Perfect demonstration video! That's exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to try this knot out when dropshotting and if I have no problems, probably send the palomar packing out of my knot arsenal.
