Wow! Sooo much information. I have been tying my leader directly to the fly line with a nail Knot. It seems like I may be the only one. Loops of different kinds seem to be the most used, I had no idea. I will have to pick one of the methods suggested and start trying them out. I like the idea of not clipping the end off my line every time I change leaders.
My thanks to all that responded. I have been reading the forums on this site for a while now and am amazed at how much information is readily shared. Whatever happened to a fisherman's secrets. This is way better.
Once again, thanks to all.
( now I'm curious about these furled leaders. Always learning sure keeps things interesting )
