The Dropper Loop |
| This knot is used to form a loop which
stands out from the line above a sinker or other terminal
rig. Not a strong knot but servicable for pan fish and
small salt water species where such rigs are used. |
| |
- 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 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 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.
