DROPPER LOOP KNOT

First, form a loop in the line.


Pull one side of the loop down and begin taking turns with it around the standing line. Keep point where turns are made open so turns will gather equally on each side.


After eight to ten turns, reach through center opening and pull remaining loop through. Keep finger in this loop so it will not spring back.


Hold loop with teeth and pull both ends of the line, making turns gather on either side of loop.


Set knot by pulling lines as tightly as possible. Tightening coils will make loop stand out perpendicular to line. Not a strong knot but servicable for small saltwater species where such rigs are used.
