Hi Noel, great video. I have a problem with my running line. I got caught in a snag this morning and I couldn't get out far enough to reach the head by line so I had no choice but to pull on the running line and unfortunately the running line broke and not my tippet. Can I use the same method with the shrink tube and heat gun to put a new loop on the running line or is that only suitable for thicker fly lines?

Hi Pubz ,killer blow losing a line ,but I have repaired running lines this way without a problem .

@@noelfitzmaurice2620 thanks Noel. I managed to get the line back this morning with a small anchor and rope. It was a brand new line and leaving it trailing in the river was worrying me. I just done a perfection loop and attached the Fly line loop to loop but I'm not happy with the knot from the perfection loop incase it catches in the top eye when landing a fish. I need to pick up some heat shrink tubes and I'll give your method a go. It looks perfect. Thanks again Noel.

Hi Pubz , sweet to get it back , well done, if you want some I can post you on a piece. [e-mail] is my email if you send me your address, I'll post it in the post asap. Thanks Noel.

You could use a Nail knot .

[@noelfitzmaurice2620]

Hi John , the nail knot is also a great option ,takes a little practice to get right but once mastered won't let you down, thanks for your support Noel.

Hi Noel, are you on facebook? i would like to send a gaelforce line to get a new loop if possible?

[@noelfitzmaurice2620]

Hi Arcturus, if you would like, I could send you some heat shrink to try it out. Noel.
