On the Rio Lines they advertise "welded loops" I've got a bunch of homemade tips and I was wondering is their a way to duplicate those at home? Any secrets out that are worth sharing?

Thanks for the heads up on that thread...

It was four pages back but it looks slick... just one question...

How do you do it? 1/8" heat shrink tubing? Where do you find that? I'm pretty sure I can find a heat gun around. Do you strip the fly line down to the core or double over a running line?

Ok... that was more than one question, but it is a good indication of where I need to start looking.

I think we will have some kits to do it in the next few weeks......
