Dropper loop

The dropper loop is a type of 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.

  1. Gather a loop and then twist it around the overlap a few times
  2. Form the loop and then use a matchstick to twist up the overlap.

Finally drop the loop through the central twist.

Dropper Loop being formed
gollark: My stuff is mostly designed as "insanely weakly typed with minimal sanity checks", while most of the CC standard libraries/programs go for "have some type checking on function arguments".
gollark: Oh, right. I assumed you meant it would make `type` return that, but I don't think CC has that implemented.
gollark: No, I mean I don't think it does anything.
gollark: Er, metatables having __type.
gollark: I don't think that's supported in CC's Lua implementation, although I may be wrong.
