Hey chaps need a bit of advice please

Have 5wt line and all the braided loops i have tried seem to be to big - just slip off when pressure applied - tried usual way - ie sleeve and glue but to no avail - tried whipping a loop on but frustration takes hold and in danger of throwing line with reel attached oot window !

Does anyone know where i can get slim braids from
regards

Ross

I hope you have a line with a braided core, it wont work otherwise, just my Opinion .......

try threading the core of the line inside it,s self with a needle threader. just like working with braiding

try making your own from light waight backing. hop it helps

Whip on the braid,it will never come off.

No offence intended but this is a poor method and absolutely not recommended.

Due to hinging, the line will eventually weaken and split behind the plastic sleeve.
