Quick take

Braided loop connectors that attach leaders and tapers to fly line via loop-to-loop connection.

These braided loop connectors give fly anglers a quick loop-to-loop join between a fly line and a leader, backing or sinking head. This is the clear 50 lb size, the heavier of the two, aimed at thick lines such as Skagit heads or salmon and steelhead setups. A small poly sleeve slides over the braid to lock the line in place, and the pack holds ten pieces.

Best for

  • Fly anglers who change leaders frequently
  • Attaching shooting tapers and skagit heads
  • Salmon and steelhead fly fishing

Skip if

  • You prefer knotted connections
  • You tie most leaders directly to line

Strengths

  • Loop-to-loop connection is quick and reversible
  • Braided material is strong without bulk
  • Multiple colors offer visibility for landing and rigging

Trade-offs

  • Adds a connection point that can catch and break off
  • Loop-to-loop requires two loops to function
  • Less direct than a permanent knot connection
