braided loops pull off and a fly line will break long before

I've used both but I use the braided loop exclusively now. The only time I
have had one fail is when it goes hard, it doesn't do it's chinese finger
compresion, after it has been on the line for a few years. Getting snagged
on the bottom doesn't even pull it off, the tippet breaks first. I even had
a braided salmon leader break while using a twenty pound tippet and the loop
was still holding.


If it's the loop you're after I'd recommend a nail knot and a
small perfection loop instead of a braided loop and super glue.

I don't use super glue, never have, it makes the braid go hard and it
doesn't tighten on the fly line. I just use the piece of sleeve that comes
with the loop.

I make my own loops now from braided backing, much cheaper
