You got that right, Carl. It is downright confounding. And in the end, if you're like most of us, you probably use the same handful of knots, time after time. You'll try a few different ones, at home. But out on the water, the old standbys come out.<br />
For me, a knot has to be simple to tie. It was all I could do to tie the few knots the Navy made us learn. To this day, two hands are all I need to count the knots I can tie.

When I saw it, I figured he meant Palomar.<br/>
<br/>
The only "Palmer" I know of as relates to fishing comes from fly tying, where you spiral wrap a hackle feather onto a body, hook shank, etc.

<p>I've been googling for how to tie a Palmer knot and have come up kind of dry. Did you possibly mean a Palomar knot, or is this really something different but little known?<br/><br/>Thanks!</p>

I've done it years, ago, although it wasn't called "drop shot" then. We did it as a salt water method, but I've also used it in fresh.<br />
I did it as Carl suggests, but it's been a long time.<br />
Good luck with it.

<p>I do a drop-shot all the time, just like Carl describes. Except, I usually have a slip-float on the line above the rig. I find that rigging like this is more sensitive than a typical rig that has the hook on bottom, with some split shot on the line above the hook.</p>
