Preping a Sinking Line

[supersenior]

How does one prepare the tip of a sinking line for a section of tippet?

Do you nail knot a heavy piece of mono and then a perfection loop?
OR
Put a small loop in the tip of the sinking line and bind it down with thread or mono?

I usually nail knot a perfection loop to the end of the fly line. Then loop to loop to a furled leader. Then surgeon's knot a tippet to the leader.

Put a small loop in the tip of the sinking line and bind it down with thread or mono?

I prefer this option and coat the wrappings with UV Knotsense.

I nail-knot a foot to eighteen inches of 20lb Maxima to the end of my line, then tie this to a tiny (size 14) inline swivel, then run whatever tippet off the swivel, never more than 2 feet. I should note that I exclusively fish streamers with my sinktips.

I've done both, the important thing is being able to have the loop to loop connection to the leader. For some reason (today anyway), I seem to like looping the end of the fly line and binding it down.

I make a loop from braided mono then loop to loop a furled leader to that.

Sounds like you have all the options covered here. I do not like whipped loops myself, and braided mono loops (a la Dan Blanton's method) are the strongest connection but I do not like the sound they make through the guides, so I go with nail knotted stiff mono (25# Hard Mason aka clear Amnesia) like others. YMMV.
