What happens if the tip loop breaks?
Fear not. Occasionally, due to excessive strain or long use, a tip loop can break. Simply gather the leader strands together and secure them with your hemostat or tying vice. You can whip-finish the strands and trim if you wish. Now, tie on a mono extender using a nail knot. Then tie a perfection loop to the tag end to make a 4 to 8 inch extender. We offer a great nail knot tool to help you do this easily. Dab knot with super glue or “Knot Sense.” Your leader is now as good as new.
