I need some advise on a loop for my small stream line (#4)

Tried Airflo floating braided loops, but it sinks the the tip of my fly line.

Roman moser minicon trout loops .......?

10lb mono Gary's loop .....?

Thick mono knailnot butt section...?

Please help......need best presentation

Thanks

i found that a tiny drop of superglue on the end of the line after trimming seals it before putting the braided loop on, then you could add a drop of floatant to the loop itself to keep it up in the water

Roman Moser are the best I have used.

i now whip a loop in the end of my fly line by stripping the coating off the last inch or so, make the loop , whip with tying thread then place tiny drop of superglue on thread at stop point, coat with thin film of aquasure ------ simples .this gives the best presentation and ive tried all the minicons loops and nail knots you can think of .if you whip it with flouro thread it gives a nice indicator for nymphing (old fashioned upstream nymphing )

If you want to 100% seal the tip, you can melt it - just need a bit of heat shrink tubing and a lighter.

I have been using the same method as teeser for a few seasons now and have had no problems. I always had a nagging doubt over nylon loops and they looked so clumsy on the end of a 2 or 3 weight line. Forming a loop in the end of the fly line itself is much neater and is very strong.

Thanks all,

Will give the whip a loop on fly line a try.

Why do I need to strip the coating on the tip?

Cant I just leave it as is?

You can leave the coating on and simply form the loop and whip but personally I prefer to strip off the coating. It makes a neater job and leaves less of a 'hump'. Either way works fine.

Try THIS
You don't have to pull it through but finish as described above.

Thanks!

Looks good, can I use super glue in stead of the aquaseal?
