Default question on droppers

@z9g2000hsf.googlegroups.com:

Apart from which, using the tag end of a knot is asking for a break,
it is a very weak rig, and not at all advisable.



The way this is often done is to use the tag end of the blood knot that
attaches tippet to leader. It doesn't seem particularly weak, and I've
never had a break there. When I nymph, I get caught on bottom plenty, and
my chaotic attempts to free up often result in breaks, but not at that
knot.
