Default Loop connection vs. knot

Hmm, sounds like Eagle Claw's patent has expired and some one is making
Leader Links under a different name. Who is the Company Lat705?

The ones I have are called "Cast Connectors" They come in Fl Orange and

clear.
Here's how they work. They are barrel shaped with an axial hole and a

180
degree radial hole at the mid point. Put the line in an axial hole and

out the
radial hole. Tie a knot, trm, and put knot back into the barrel. Put the
thick part of the leader in the other axial hole and out the radial hole .

Tie
a knot trim, and put the knot back in the barrel.. Also; they make it

easier
to land fish (on the rare occasion I catch one). They slide through the

guides
smoothly. I used to reel in to a point where my line was still extending

out
the tip top. Now I reel into the point where the leader length extending

out
from the tip top is the optimum for using the net.
