John, I haven't tried loop to loop at this connection I've always used a knot (surgeon or equiv.). I like to fish the first few flies on a new leader until it has shortened just a bit then add new tippet while still in the original tippet. Like byard I usually go through one or two leaders a season per line. Still think I'll give the furled ones a try though.

Could I take a tapered mono leader and cut it about 5 inches before the major change in size, in other words almost to the last bit of the tippet? Do this then in the last bit of tippet remaining put a loop knot. Then make a loop knot in my tippet material . Has anyone done this, and how would this be any different from the loop to loop connection on a furled leader. > > john ridderbos > > >
