The '''dropper loop''' is a type of [[Loop (knot)|loop]] [[knot]] often used on multi-hook fishing lines. It can be created in the middle of a long line and forms a loop which is off to the side of the line.

== Techniques ==
There are two main methods of tying the dropper loop.
# Gather a loop and then twist it around the overlap a few times
# Form the loop and then use a matchstick to twist up the overlap.
Finally drop the loop through the central twist.
