When you stick a no-knot eyelet in your finger instead of the line, it's
pretty hard to imagine anything less useful. Except, maybe, for a certain
inhabitant of a certain public housing project on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The best way to attach leader to line is a well-tied nail
knot but if you gotta have a gadget Eagle Claw makes a
plastic doodad that some people like.

Is that the mesh thing that looks like a cable pulling sleeve? I never
could get those to work for me. Either I couldn't get them on or I
could
them on, but they would slide right off.

Ken's referring to "leader links". They are small, clear, hollow
plastic doodads through which you thread your line on one end and your
leader on the other. Tie a knot in each and pull them up inside the
leader link.

They work fine; they glide through the guides easily, float and
aren't readily visible on the water. I use them most of the time these
days. (I'll still tie a nail knot sometimes if I'm riggin up at home,
but for use on the stream they're very handy.)

It'll get a good workout in about three weeks.

I use leader link on 5 wt and below. They must be checked before each day
of fishing as cracks can develop from getting smacked on rocks on the
backcast (or so I've heard). They DO NOT float. Unless you have a very
good, well sealed fly line, they will bring the tip of the line down.
As I said, I do use them on 5 and below. I'm concerned about their strength
on serious fish (snook, bones, baby tarpon, stripers). Also, remember to
use the appropriate size for the line, or they may hang in the tip top.
To seal my fly line, I put a dab of flexament or wader seal on the end of
the line after its been out of the water in a dry place for a couple of
weeks. I always replace my leader links at the start of the season and use
the flexament on the line at that time.

Interesting. I must always have good, well-sealed line then. :-)

According to many courts ruling on the issue of 'residency rules' (requiring
an employee to live n a certain area) the courts have determined that a
person lives where they spend most of their time. Thus, no one lives
there....
