Dropper loop
This knot is used when a string loop is needed in a section of standing line, where the load is
distributed along the line rather than directly to the loop. It can be used to rig many hooks and
weights from a single fishing line. You must have access to one end of the line to tie this knot, so
it cannot be tied between two anchored lines.
Begin by creating a large loop in the line (1). Repeatedly wrap the free end through the loop (2).
When you have close to eight wraps, spread open the wrap closest to the middle, creating an “eye”
(3). Feed the center of the top of the loop through the eye, moisten, and pull the standing ends to
tighten (4).
