jig is on a distinguished road
Did you try that Plait knot? I have been practicing it at home but it is hard for me to tie with a big loop.

For the standard dropper loop, make sure you wet the line really well with spit before you tighten it. The knot has a lot of loops around the standing line and if you tighten it quickly without spit, the heat is pretty significant. I think this is a big cause of weak knots in mono.
