The first step on tying up a dropshot is to tie the hook on with a Palomar knot. Then run the tag end of the line back through the eye of the hook so that tag end goes down and the point of the hook is up.
It will be close to 90 degrees but never perfect.
The stores do sell dropshot sinkers that have an eyelet to tie on to. If you are usind split shot type of sinkers then you can attatch anywhere between 1/4 to 1/2oz.
It is always recommended to use a single piece of lead to keep snagging on the bottom minimized.[cool]
