Dubie,
I think I know what you are asking..but not sure...
A lot of the newer fly lines come with a looped end so that you can do a loop to loop connection between your fly line and your leader. As I said, a lot do.. but not all.. in the case where a fly line does not have a looped end manufacturers have put out a "fix" like the one you describe. I have seen several discussions on this after market "fix" and most seem to think it is not very reliable.
With that in mind what I did was take a short piece (10" - 12" or shorter) of heavier mono line (20#) and connected it to my fly line with a nail knot. At the other end of this I tied a perfection loop that gives me the loop to loop connection between the fly line and the leader. Here is an example of how to tie the [url "http://www.killroys.com/knots/perfecti.htm"]perfection loop[/url]...
Hope this helps....
