Basic questions from a beginner!

I like to put the weight first and tie it at the bottom. Then I use the weight as a third hand to assist in tying the dropper loop.

I will slip the weight in my pants pocket to hold it so that I can use both of my other hands to actually tie the knot. It also helps to get a better measurement as to how far up the line that I want to put the loop.

For jetty and surf fishing, 18 to 24 inches is the ideal height. When fishing deeper from a boat, you will do better with 2 hooks. The first one at 24 inches and the second one at 36 to 40 inches from the weight.[cool]
