If you will Google "How to Make Welded Loops in Fly Lines", you will find links to a couple of sites for instructions on how to do this. It is very easy to do and is quick. The only down-side is that it works best if you have, or have access to, a heat gun. Hair driers typically don't get hot enough. If done properly, there are absolutely no hangups ever at the tip, or any other, guide.
