Braided Loop
  
1) Pass end of the braided line through eye of a large darning
needle.
2) Depending how large you want your braided loop thread the
needle into the braided line.
3) Pulling it out a few inches down from where you entered the
braided line Remove braided line end from needle.
  
4) Slide braided line end back into braid then give a coating
of Pilobond glue.
5) Push end of fly line into braid.
6) By pushing braid over fly line then stroke along you can feed
the fly line several inches into the braid.
  
7) Where supplied in premade braided loops, slide the plastic
sleeve over the end of the fly line that is within the braided
line.
8) Using a thread bobbin (weighted with your dubbing whirl or
whatever) lay down a bed of thread at a point near the end of
the braided line. Rotating the connection between your fingers
to lay down the thread. Helps if someone can rotate the spool
of fly line the same way to avoid twists or kinks (thus weak
points) in the fly line.
9) Give a coating of Pilobond glue to the whole shebang for added
security and durability.
