I think this approach is superior. I ordered a fly line from Orvis,
recently, and they used a mono nail knot to tie the woven loop to the fly
line (no glue and no shrink tube). I combined their technique with gluing
and the shrink tube. My newest procedu



1-Put the small piece of shrink tube on the fly line

2-Inchworm on the woven loop to the very end of the fly line (make sure to
butt up the fly line as far as you can go to the loop)

3-Using the large tie fast tool (or similar nail knot tool) wrap 8-12 pound
test line (I liked the 8 better) around the non-loop end to tie the woven
loop to the fly line. I used 10 wraps or so.

4-Zap-a-Gap the area around the knot but no more than the length of the
shrink tube and let it dry.

5-Pull down the small piece of shrink tubing and cover the knot and the
glued area.

6-Heat the shrink tube

Try a whipped loop. All you need is thread, a bobbin, and a razor blade,
and it slips through the guides better than any woven loop I've ever used.
