Ok, You have a loop... Let's call it a 6' loop for shits n giggles. That's a total of 12' of line to make that loop.

If you cut it at 50/50 you would have two lines that are 6' each. If you cut it at 70/30 you'd have one line at a little over 8' and one at a little under 4'. By the way, if the current is running pretty good, this is a great method (having the longer end with the hook on it).

You can fish it either way, hook on short end, or on the long end.

Or you can not cut it at all. Then you can use the loop and tie a palomar, or sd knot to the hook. Just leave the tag end long enough to tie the sinker on.

I don't really like fishing with double line, but that's just me. Others have different methods and ways of fishing.

This thread was starting to hurt, so I made this super high detail drawn to scale perfect rendition of a dropper loop for you.
