dropper loop question

[makosnax]

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.

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.

I've never seen a video, but this sequence is not hard to follow. FWIW, I have found the extra "optional" plait to be necessary.
