How do you tie a dropper line ?

Welcome from Alabama. I use Palamar knots when tying the drop shot.

For the last year this has been my slip float go to method for presenting two lures at two different depths.

There is also a knot wars app for cell phone that is free demonstrates most knots and how they perform on braided or mono etc

Not sure what happened but unable to see post but here goes again knot wars app for cell phone has demonstration and comparisons for braided and mono etc

Does this thread cover trolling crank-baits? I wanted some good insight on the best rig for trolling a 6'-10' diving crank-bait on 6 lb line if possible. Not sure if a 1/2 oz weight will hold it down or how much line to let out or if using my standard trolling rods will work wih the extra weight. Lots of questions I guess...
Looking for a drawing of rig setup too. Can't find much on the net except one youtube video that talks about using a 5 oz weight! I don't think my 12' rods will bow right with 5 oz and a crank on each but haven't tried yet. Any comments welcome.

Shipsahoy, your last one looks like a modified slab stacker rig on a slip float. Do you typically use a minnow on the top hook?

Minnow or red wiggler depending on what I am fishing for. The bottom hook has soft plastic or soft plastic and a minnow to bulk it up a bit.

Crank baits?

Send a PM to "G" because he is an expert on that. I do not do the crank baits.
