This gives it salt resistance (when salt crystals dry inside your braid they damage it a little bit each time, but not so much with this)

But it must perform at the top of its class

I do not think that loops are the best way to join two parts of the fly line set up, but they sure are easy to use, and until you are really competent with a flyrod, you'll be pleased to know that a leader can be changed in a jiffy, without tying any knots

Definitely not a flipping real

We need to strike a balance between fitting the swivel eye over the barb without flattening it, but not so large that the swivel can drift back off (especially if there's a fish attached)
