Poly Leader Question

Two seasons ago I bought an assortment of poly leaders (floating to XFS). Each has a loop at one end to connect with the butt, a mid-leader then a tag at the other end to connect to a tippet. The consumer is s'posed to figure out a way to connect the tag end to the leader. R U with me?

I tied a loop in the tippet tag end of the poly leader. Then I used the loop-to-loop method to connect to the tippet. This worked dandy -- except the leader/tippet connection is now wearing out, and there isn't enough tag left to tie another loop in the tippet end of the poly leader.

Any ideas on how I can put a new tag end for the tippet connection on a poly leader?

Thanks in advance.

If you need it to float, nail knot a little piece of mono or a superbraid like powerpro to the tippet end, with a perfection loop in it.

iF you are using poly leaders to swing for steelhead you might try the following:

1.  form a loop, whip about an inch of it with a fly tying bobbin, coat thread with super glue, (zap a gap) or a couple coats of fly head cement.

2.  form a loop with about an inch doubled over, secure the loop with 2 nail knots, one knot over the end of the doubled tag end, one knot to set the size of the loop.

3.  Tie an albright knot with about 20 lb stiff mono, (maxima chameleon or clear) attach your tippet loop to loop, blood knot or use a small # 12 or 14 barrel swivel.
 
4,  use the cortland or rio braided leader loops, 2 - 7 wt, nail knot over the end of the tip/sleeve.
 
If you break a leader while fishing, the albright knot is your best option.
 
All of the above work well for repairing a break in a poly leader assuming you have enough left to fish with.  The connections if done right are strong and also work well with lengths of t-8 or t-14 for sink tips.
