I am the odd man out. I knot all my lillians. Never had an issue un-knotting them when needed. Really, i will rarely clean or need to dry out those top sections so it really has no inconvenience.

I just girth hitch. I dont use dacron for my lines but use 60 or 80# braid loops connected via albright. I could see how dacron might be bulky, but doubt it would effect presentation. The braid loop is pretty thin, is fast, easy, and really have been doing it this way since I started. It is idiot proof.

I have never lost a line and it is probably the simplest way to connect.

Tristans method could work too with a single double surgeons loop to simplify. I would suspect the problem over time is that the flouro line may fatigue or get deformed, but he would probably mention that if it were the case.

This post has some images of my end loops.

What I like about it the most is its visibility. It is whitish, and I think Chris Stewart has noted that white tends to be stealthy as the sky probably reads as white to a fish. What is also interesting, is because it is transluce…
