Alan,
What are you fishing for there. That makes a big difference in the

P.S. I am giving myself the challenge to create braided nylon loops

I have found a product like Loon Knot-Sense (think it is called
something else these days) helps when you are knotting mono to the fly
line. The product is molded around the knot so that the connection is

Does anyone know why Mark has to post through one of us? He is a
regular contributor and a heck of a nice guy. Is there somekind of
