This is kinda the way it's tied
The Dropper Loop knot or also known as the Blood Dropper Knot is tied in the bight (not the end) of the line, creating a loop that juts out perpendicular to the line were a hook can be attached. It's useful for creating a fishing line with a series of hook along its length.

The Dropper Loop Knot can be tied readily and attached to swivel and hook. No matter how many types of knots you use, all knots must be tied with care. As a general practice make sure that all knots should be trimmed so that there is no more than a millimeter or two of line sticking out from the fishing knot.

Dropper Loop is made by first forming a loop in the line. Next take hold of one side of the loop and make 6 or more turns around the line itself. Keep open the point where the turns or twists are being made and hold of the other side of the loop, and pull it through the center opening, use a finger in this loop so that it is not lost. By holding this loop between your teeth pull gently on both ends of the line, making the turns gather and pack down on either side of the loop.

No boat, back in the suds.
