I used to tie the dropper above the sinker and attach the rig loop to loop style. In my findings, it is quite weaker than the way I posted. With the shown setup, I've straightened 4/0 hooks. With dropper loop way, tend to loose them. Still strong, but rather go with what I have more confidence in.

I thought BMH style was the Surgeon's Loop and snelling the hook onto the tag end? Then there's that second sliding hook rig I see some use too.
