--riverman Hi Myron,

I haven't used nail knots for years. *Instead I attach a short lenght (12")
of strong nylon leader to the flyline by means of about 3ins of braided
leader. Strip off say 1" of outer covering off the Line insert *the bared
core *into one end of the breaided leader and into the other end insert the
strong nylon. *Apply super glue to both ends of the braided leader. *Form a
loop to the other end of the nylon and attach your fishing leader,loop to

Bill,
I used a line/leader connection very similar to that for a number of
years. However, I quit using it and went back to the nail not when two
of those connections failed .
First failure - lost a leader and fly when one of those connections
failed *while casting, with no clue as to what had happened. *Second
failure - Checked connection & found that the glue connection was no
longer holding & that the "Chinese finger grip" of the braid was
slowly working its way loose - loosen, slip, tighten, repeat.

Not all super glue is waterproof. use Zap a Gap to connect leader to
line, and, in 10 years, have never had a failure.
