Pete, You either like them or don't. I guess the only way to know is to try them. I have had some that were stiff but what I am using now are nice and soft. I was getting them from Gudebrod but they will not have them available any more. I like them because they make a smooth transition with the flyline to the leader and made it easy to change leaders. Now that I am using furled leaders, I seldom change leaders. I just add tippet. I have had the same loop and leader on for at least five years. Yes, I do fish a lot. This year was an exception, I only fished about four months this year due to health problems. On the loops. I use a size smaller that what it calls for on the line size. A bit harder to get them on but I like the way they go through the tip top. Tony --- Peter Gramp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
