Good idea Charlie and good morning. I even added a drop of super glue to
keep the tapered leader in place while pulling it taught and then heating
the shrink wrap for a "tighter fit".

Jerome,
Two of my braided loops have come loose in the past two years (one
resulting
in the loss of a + 15" trout). Maybe I did not attach them properly
and/or the shrink wrap failed to keep the braided leader in place.

Instead of the shrink wrap, whip finish over the end of the loop and put a
little Aquaseal on it. The biggest problem with the loops coming off I've
seen
is when they are pulled through the guides and 'pushed' off the end.
