PERFECTION LOOP

A perfection loop is used at the ends of the leader belly and tippets, attaching the two lines together.

Double the end of the leader belly forming a loop about 6" in length. Next, form a smaller loop about 2 inches from the end the leader belly so that this smaller loop is behind the doubled line.

With the larger loop, make a wrap around the the smaller loop and then pass the end of the larger loop through the smaller one.

Wet the knot area and firmly tighten the larger loop. Be sure that the wraps tighten evenly. Carefully trim excess.

To connect the perfection loops to one another, pass the tippet loop over the leader belly loop, then pass the fly through the leader belly loop.
