These leader loop from Rio are hands down the best ones on the market, I have been using these for a while. Easy to put on and you don’t have to worry about heating the shrink wrap like other brands. A little pricey but worth it

Well Worth Keeping A Pack In Your Vest.
Although I did mess up on my first attempt by sliding the plastic tube back over the frayed end too far(my fault,not the product), I have to say these things are a great addition to the arsenal. East to use and hold tight and secure. Was worried about it affecting casting/turnover but it's like it's not even there. For the price I definitely suggest grabbing a pack.

Great Product, Tough To Put On
Love these loops, I've bought them before and I've always had trouble puting them on my line all the way to the second set of braided line. Once you do though and add a little super glue they never come off.

Braided Loop Difficulties
These are really tough to put on. I wasted 3 of them in my efforts to attach to my fly line. First it is really hard just to open up the braid and slip your line down the center. Next once you get the loop on, then you have to slide this little band down over the frayed part of the braided loop, if you go to far its over and you have to cut it off and try a new one. There's got to be a better way to attach a loop.

Awesome Product
Makes a 15dollar fly line like an 80dollar fly line for 5 bucks. Change leaders like the pros. Easy to use. Get it!

Performed Well
The instructions for use are a little confusing if you have never used this type of product before. The "insert fly line until you reach the double braided section" Where is this? It all seems to come apart, but in the end you hold the loop between your teeth, slide the plastic retainer up the line, two drops of super glue and your in business. Fished for Kings, Browns, and steelhead no pull outs.

Great Product
Time saver for fly line to leader connection - also, doubles as a strike indicator.
