I pre-tie a few of these to save time on the water.
Unroll some tippet material and tie a dropper loop about a foot from the end. Make it a large loop - 3" to 4" so when you cut one leg, it will be a 6" - 8" dropper. Repeat a foot above that. Cut a foot above that and you have a three-foot Bouncer rig ready to add splitshot and flies. Just tie to your leader.
On the water, I can make one quicker (and without cheater glasses) by using double or triple surgeon's knot dropper loops.
Almost forgot to add: You can also fish this rig quite well with a spinning rod, if your indicator isn't too far up the line. Or fish it without one in a tight-line technique. The fish don't mind.
