Re: [VFB] Knotless leader

Sounds cool Joyce. Unfortunately, i doubt it would work with a furled 
leader. They have loops on both ends. Ever try one yet? If you do, you'll be 
converted instantly. At least for dry fly fishing. The turnover is just 
terrific. And you can use real long tippets with them. At least again as 
long as the leader. mark...........

I was taught this technique for a knotless leader by my mentor, an old time 
fisherman. He would take a needle with a pliers or Kelly clamp, hold it in 
the flame of a cigarette lighter and push it into the center of the fly 
line, thus melting a small hole. Then, carefully, he'd put a drop of super 
glue on the end of his leader, push it into the hole he'd just created with 
his hot needle, let it dry and it was done. I've used this for years and 
never had it come undone. Joyce
