Hang the loop on something to pull it tight as you cinch the knot.

I usually hook it around my front teeth without actually biting down on the line when I pull it tight. Also help the knot cinch with your thumb nails so you dont stretch the line inside the knot.

Thumbs up Re: dropper loop question

when twisting the knot, make sure your twisting towards you and not away from you. Makes a big difference.

Stick with the kiwi,does not reduce line strength as much as standard dropper loop.

I twist 6 times for an even amount of twists on either side and this works out great for me!

+1 for the kiwi loop knot, far stronger than the standard dropper loop.
