Alright, I just bought some cortland LLC-13 vinyl coated lead core line. It is rated at 13 grains per foot. I am going to try and make up a few different lengths to turn a floating line into a sinktip line quickly on the water. On the back of the package it suggests that I use "cortland braided slip-on leader loops. (splicing needles available.)"

I don't trust the slip on loops. and I don't know how I could splice a loop in the line.

Has anyone done this? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't want to just make a loop in the line because the loop would be too thick to pass through the guides easily. I also don't want to use a nail knot and heavy mono for the same reason.

I suppose I could use the slip-on loops if I could glue them to the line, but I want it to be flexible and I don't have any experience with a high strength flexible glue. Any suggestions in that department?

Thanks alot, you guys always come through for me.
