I like flygodess' idea. I'll have to try it.
Just out of curiosity, what wieght line was the leader loop connector rated for? What weight line were you using?
I have found that I like to use a smaller rated connector than what my line is. Also, like was recommended, I use a bit of superglue on the connector prior to the shrink tubing.
I have lost connectors \ leaders on large salmon using a connector rated for the same size fly line I was using. I have since switched to using smaller connectors (5#) with larger lines (9#). It can be a little harder to attach, but they seem to stay connected. I've never had another issue losing them.
(I still think I might try making my own loop using flygoddess suggestion)
