leaders (and
shortening your flyline) while at the same time keeping the knots to a
minimum? I've been using the loop-to-loop with an extra length of
tippet surgeon's-knotted to the leader.

I don't trust the glue to last more than a year and just clip off about a half
inch of the flyline when I glue another leader to it. I figure that it will
last me about 25 years before I shorten the fly line by more than a couple of
feet. I don't see that as much of a problem. When the tippet gets too thick, I
simply tie in a perfection loop and then loop on some tippet. I have never
figured out a better way, but I am open for new ideas.
