kphume,

I now use a Super Glue Splice to connect the Leader to my Fly Line.It very simple and holds extremely well!All you have to do is use a big Sewing Needle and insert in into the Tip of the Fly Line,the needle has to be big enough to allow your butt section of your Leader to insert into the Fly Line,then cover where the two Sections Join with Superglue(Crazy Glue).I use the Brush on Super Glue.No more worries about knots getting caught in you Guides because the Connection is flat.
