Re: [VFB] BRAIDED LOOP LEADER CONNECTORS

[Jack Lehman]

Reuvin I've had them fail on big fish.  Maybe I didn't do it right, but ... I still use loop-to-loop, but I either use Lefty Kreh's method of a radical diagonal cut on the end of the line, whip finished back to itself, or the Joe Robinson/Dave Whitlock version of strippiing down to the braid and inserting it back into the covered line with superglue.  (Joe Robinson, Dave's coauthor of the method, is a longtime fixture at fly shops here in Austin.)

Just curious what your views are as opposed to connecting the line directly to the leader.   R No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
