what you say makes a lot of sense..
as for the wf- f line sinking.. you are right.. I usually use weighted flies.. but not exclusively.. even in this case I am talking a couple of inches of line up from the line/leader connection may go just under the surface.. so far all intents and purposes it is still floating.. the leader and tippet are a different story..
I have seen those loop to loop tubes you spoke of earlier. I just did not realize they could be shrunk.. and I assume for the sake of this discussion that those tubes are a different material than that used for electrical connects (shrink tubing) as that requires a bit of heat to work and I can see that damaging the line and leader material easily..
as for building leaders etc.. one of our members is very proficient at that "art" especially when it comes to furled leaders...
I myself am novice fly fisherman.. and fly tyer (in my case youd call it putting flies together and hope they stay that way)..
