Ken:
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 agree.
I tried braided loops a few years back, but quit trusting them when one came
off while I was cleaning the line.

Because I do find it convenient to have a loop at the end of the line, I
nail-knot a short section of .017" mono to the line, with a perfection loop
at the end.
Costs less than five cents, plus a little bit of my time, and will probably
outlast the fly line.

Besides, nail knots "build character."
