The problem is the dropper loop itself. The line is essentially cinching itself up onto itself. That is a recipe for breakage. The good thing is that if it is tied right the plug side will not come off since the knots on each side tighten to each other as the line os pulled taut. The bad thing is that you have to replace the leader anyway because it shouldn't be trusted.

The dropper is the easiest way I have found to attach a teaser. Pretty much tangle free. There is no fool proof way I don't think. They all have drawbacks.

Did this make sense or did I just confuse everyone?
