I was considering putting it on my 6/7 weight but have heard it kind of kinks things during the cast? Just curious what your views are as opposed to connecting the line directly to the leader. I use them and haven't had any problems with them.  I use the one's Orvis puts out, and tend to use one that's designated for a lighter line. For example, one that's for 3, 4 weight on my 5 or 6 wgt.  What I do is cut the fly line at a sharp angle and work it up the braid to the base of the loop.  Then I take some Aqua Seal and work it into the braid till it's saturated.  There's usually a small piece of tubing that comes with the braided loop.  I just slide it down to just before the end of the braid, work a little more Aqua Seal into the braid.  Let it set up and dry and I'm in business.   Jerry C.
