That sounds like a great idea. I'm just the video producer, but I'll be sure to pass on the message to John. Thanks for watching and passing on your tips.

As you demonstrated earlier when attaching the backing line, it can easily cut through the line coating.

To counter this, some people put an overhand knot on the end of the fly line to prevent the leader from slipping off.

Personally I use a braided monofilament loop.

That does not look very secure to me.

I'd be interested to know how you would tie it more securely.
