Thank you! That's a great idea! I also have some old sinking line I could use to make sink tips. Thanks for sharing and I hope they turn out good for you! I'm gonna try to make some asap👌👌👌 Talk soon, Steve @blackflycreations ✌️
That's a great idea! I would definitely test it at home. My only concerns would be slippage, and for floating lines, water seepage. The inner core line sticks pretty well to poly coating and gives the thread something to bite into when I tie it. But if you could strip enough to tie a good loop knot, then seal it so water doesn't soak into the core, it probably work fine and be smaller. You got me thinking now, so thanks for asking. It would make an interesting video/test.👍 Let me know if you try it and how it goes! Talk soon, Steve
@@blackflycreations Steve. Not my idea. Check out vids by David Arcay or Howard Croston. All the comp guys use this method. What the comp guys taught me is to remove “mass” from the line to better detect strikes. My flyline rarely leaves my rod while Euro Nymphing. My leader is 2x rod length. I feel every tap. But keep up the great work.
Thx for watching Wayne, appreciate the view! I learned this loop from Pro angler Devin Olsen "He also has a TH-cam channel "Tactical Fly Fisher". Its held up on my bass rod for almost a year now. However there is a better system I now use for my Euro Nymphing lines. I may do a video in the future. Tight lines Steve
@@blackflycreations If you do a video make sure you do not tie a bogus loop, and a bogus leader attached to it. Do yourself a favor and at least take a pair of pliers and scruff them both up before comparing them to the technique you are trying to promote. That is the part that is laughable. Totally staged.
Sorry it didn't work out for you Robert. I never want to give false information without proof of concept. It works great for me but not all flylines are eqaul, and I'm sure there are much better ways. Let me know what you discover, I'm always willing to learn and improve. Tight lines!

Very cool. I have some lead line I wanted to use as a sink tip. I’ve found a mono nail knot is so clunky. Will definitely try this!

And more length of wraps more tensile strength! Nice.
I agree! Thank you for the advice👍

Super clever, love it
Thank you Eric! I truly appreciate you dude🙃
Great tip Steve.
Thank you Stacy! Your very kind🙃
So nice can’t wait to learn
Thanks Desire! I'm still learning myself, it's a fun sport✌
Awesome tip! Thanks so much!
Your welcome David! Thank you for watching👍
Great idea!
Thank you FFT! Appreciate you🙃
How about if the fly line coating is removed and create the loop on the core?
That's a great idea! I would definitely test it at home. My only concerns would be slippage, and for floating lines, water seepage.

Great job love it!!👍
Again thank you guys for the support!👍👍👍
Also no! Remove the casing first, so the sling gets flush with the fly line.
Thank you, I'll have to try that if this one ever gives. I do see your point though! Thanks for the tip!
Talk soon,

I tried your techin. too large and too heavy.
