Knots for drop shotting

[ejtaylor822]

What knots do you all use for drop shotting?  I was thinking a Palomar for the hook to the line then another Palomar, or, cinch on the weight.  Read where the hook should be almost horizontal/perpindicular to the line.  Just curious what others might be doing.

Thanks,

I use the palomar and run the line down through the hook eye.  This will allow the hook to hang perpendicular to the line.  I don't tie the weight.  I use Bakudan sinkers which I make.

Palomar. Never failed.

I don't tie the weight on. I use drop shot weights which just slide/clip onto the line. When it gets snagged, I just pull on the line and the weight "drops". Slide/clip on another weight and you are back in business in a matter of seconds.

First of all, I use drop shot weights, usually in 1/8oz. Secondly, I tie a Palomar but, the only thing I do different is I pass the initial loop through the eye twice. Its seems to give the hook angle a little more substance to keep it in the traditional drop shot manner.
