The drop shot and dropper loop are two different rigs yet the dropper loop is more of the saltwater version of the drop shot.
The dropper loop has the weight on the bottom just as the drop shot. They key difference is that the area to tie the hook onto will dangle from the main line instead of being fixed and rigid like the drop shot.
The loop can be tied closer or farther from the hook, depending on the distance you want to fish from the bottom. It may also be reversed in an instant to put the weight on the top and bait on the bottom.
We have a link floating around here about saltwater knots. I will find it for you.
