Default Tied up in knots....

through the guides better than the loops.


Thanks for the response, Ken.

That's kind of what I thought, but I wondered if there was some other
advantage I may be missing by not using the loops (For instance, I
don't use a strike indicator, but I've seen some that only work on
these types of leaders.)
