Anybody tried this. This is not a hot link so you will have to cut and paste.

Really looks sharp and smooth. I wonder about strength. When I get a chance, I’ll make some and try.

OOPS, the site converted it to a hot link. No me I promise.

Amazing. How could he figure that out. It looks a laser machine of some sort did it, and he used a cigarette lighter.
I’ve been doing it for about a year. So far; just as good as factory.
I talked about it in these threads:

Nice link, thanks for passing along a piece of useful info.
A little bit of off topic, but the same exact technique can be done to repair a line that you placed between a rock and your studded wadding boots or any other reason that you damaged your fly line with a cut. I have a few places on a 5 wt line that need some work done to them.

This is funny.
I posted the same link in Fly Anglers Online in Fly Tyers Thread Loop on 03/02/2008 under DIY Welded Loops and nobody blinked an eye.
I was amazed that nobody had commented on the link.

Dick, it has happened to me too. I posted a nice YouTube link to a common casting problem on one board titled “creep and jab”, it was about tailing loops and the why and the fix for a common problem. No one commented. Same day on a different board someone posted the same link and there were numerous responses. Some times, I think it is just timing.

it’ll die down and sometime next year it will be back again. :D:D
