Dropper Loop

How to Tie the Dropper Loop

1. Form a loop in the line where you want the dropper.
2. Hold the crossing point and wrap one side of the loop around the line 5-6 times.
3. Push the center of the original loop through the opening in the middle of the wraps.
4. Pull both ends of the line while holding the loop to tighten.
5. Moisten and pull everything tight.

Pros

• Creates a perpendicular loop that stands out from the mainline
• Strong and reliable for multi-hook rigs
• Can be tied at any point in the line

Cons

• Slightly difficult to tighten evenly
• Can weaken the mainline if not tied properly

Best Used For

Creating multi-hook rigs, paternoster rigs, and sabiki rigs. Popular in bottom fishing and deep-sea applications.
