The dropper fly has a fairly big saltwater hook in it so while there is no weight per say , it does have some mass.

I like to use a weighted fly like a clouser. It does not get hung up on the main leader as much as an unweighted fly.

Welcome to the site.. I like to use a dropper when the fish are fussy. Sometimes it is the only thing that takes fish. When rigging the dropper, I like to use a heavier line from the main line. It seems to cut down on tangeling.
