I thought the super glue would be fine, but after about 1/2 an hour on the water it is gone! and the shorb loop is very tough, I may just need some practice at it,, but I would like to know more about these rings the Fly Goddess is talking about. Where do you get them? and how do you attach them?? as always Thanks in advance...also, I used the smoked transparent nylon and it was pretty visible in the water, is the clear much better??
