DROPPER
lOOP

A loop along a fishing
line, known as a
dropper loop, can be
used in a number of
ways and formed by
many methods. You can
use a second length of
gut or. as in this case,
make the loop out of
the line itself without
having to cut it.
There are two big
advantages to this loop:
it does not slip, and it
does not affect the
strength of the main
line. When it is
complete, the line is in
perfect alignment and
does not seem to be
broken up by the loop
at all.
