If I'm nymphing where it's hard to get a good drift I'll cut the leader
way back and tie on a very long tippet (a trick I learned from Willi).
The only problem with this is that it uses up a lot of leaders, or takes
up a lot of time and effort to build up a new properly tapered knotted
leader. It also seems like right after I cut back the leader that fish
start rising. :-)

Now if you used loops, you could have two tippets, one dry and one
nymph, and just change them.........
