To my backing braid, I loop on Rio SlickShooter. It shoots incredibly well and adds little bulk to the reel. It also slices through the water easily, which is great when a fish is already towing a Skagit head and MOW tip. I tie a non slip loop knot at both ends of my running line.
To my MOW tip, I loop on 3-5‘ of 12# PLine SHINSEI. Then I tie on the fly du jour with a non slip mono loop. Sometimes if the water is really slow and I’m fishing a smaller fly, I might step down to 8# tippet.
