when ever i try to do drop in the bucket, everything goes ok but once i get the yoyo in the “bucket” the yoyo catches the string and i always get a knot.

You have to hop the yoyo back out of the bucket, you can’t just drop the strings.

I had that exact same problem, when I was learning that trick I spent most of my time untying knots, like he said, just hop it out of the bucket, then dimount any other way.

Just a thought - are you starting with a breakaway? If not, the yoyo will be spinning in the wrong direction, and when it hits the string it will grab.
