Finally after so many years of fly fishing I got some shooting heads. Targeting trout, what connection is the "best" for connecting the tippet to the mono end of the head? A perfection loop? Add more butt section and nail knot it together? Just curious for suggestions.

"He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman."

The "mono end' sounds like a poly leader, or versi leader, and not a shooting head, but I could be wrong. For the leaders, I use a Perfection Loop, or a Non Slip Mono Loop. I change leaders a lot, so this makes it very easy.

Yep, it's a versa leader. Thanks for the tip.

I use Perfection Loops for all my attachments.
