CortLand FairPlay Slip-On Leader Loops

The Fairplay Slip-on Leader Loops are a convenient option for connecting your fly line to a leader without the need for knots. They offer a quick and easy solution for anglers who want to change leaders frequently or prefer not to tie knots. Here's how they work:

1. Slide the non-loop end of the Slip-on Leader Loop onto your fly line. This end is designed to fit snugly onto the line.

2. Once the loop is in place on the fly line, use heat to shrink the tubing and create a secure connection. Heat can be applied using a heat gun, a hairdryer, or even by carefully passing the tubing over a flame (like a lighter or match) for a brief moment. Be cautious not to overheat or damage the fly line or the leader loop.

3. The heat will cause the tubing to shrink tightly around the fly line, creating a secure and durable connection. Ensure that the tubing has shrunk evenly and completely onto the line to ensure a reliable connection.

4. The loop at the end of the Slip-on Leader Loop provides an easy way to attach or change leaders. Instead of tying knots, you can simply loop the leader onto the Slip-on Leader Loop, and it will hold securely.

By using the Fairplay Slip-on Leader Loops, you can reduce the number of knots you need to tie when changing leaders. This can save you time on the water and provide a reliable connection between your fly line and leader. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions and practice using the Slip-on Leader Loops before heading out to ensure proper installation and performance.
