Make loops on fly lines
Make loops on fly lines for easier leader attachment.
By making a loop on the front end of the fly line you can easily attach your leader to it - either by using a loop to loop connection or by tying the leader butt to the loop.
Make the loop by stripping 3 centimeters or 1.5 inches or so of coating off the line and pulling the inner braid "into itself" through the side of the braid. Use a metal bobbin threader for the purpose. Cover the base of the loop with Aquaseal or a similar substance and let cure before using.

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
