: Braided nylon loop connector material?
So Wes are you making loop connectors for your fly lines? If you are
I would be interested in the process. I have been using the braided
leaders for some time and love them but the connections to the fly
line are not how I would like them yet.

Does it have to be a heat gun
I would guess you have already done this. Does it really go through

Mike,
I normally fish with 11' leaders. That length allows me to net a fish
without bringing the line/leader connection through the tip top guide.
Once that knot or loop is inside the guides, you have significantly

The trick here to learn is that, when you raise your rod with one hand
