Here's a dumb question: why would anyone give you flack about a loop
to loop connection between leader and tippet?
IMHO, the Perfection Loop knot is strong and easy to tie, plus the
loop to loop technique doesn't reduce the length of one's leader with
each new tippet thus attached.
I'm out on the water to catch fish (or at least try), not for the
dubious challenge of tying complicated knots in trying conditions
like wind, rain or low light levels.
