Loop connection vs. knot

From: Ken Fortenberry

I nail knot a 7'6" 3X tapered leader to my fly
line and build a leader on that. I don't replace the tapered leader but
once or twice, three times at the most, per year and at that rate a DT
line will wear out long before I use up a significant amount of fly line
to nail knots.

Ditto.... oops! , I mean "what Ken said", except I use the Zap-a-Gap connection
instead of a nail knot.

Congrats, BTW, on a text book entry into this asylum. ;-)

Yes, nicely done.
