Dropper loop problems?

[JeffB]

I was breaking in the same place after a cpl decent fish, or after a cpl of trips. I found if you feed the hook on first then tie the dropper it solves the problem. Now there is nothing you can do about rocks and toothy critters however. I always use fluoro as well. I tried saving money with mono and lost too many good fish last year. One nick in your line and it's trash.
