I have just started to learn making wind on leaders - 100 pound leader. FUN >:(

I need some tips on the finishing off part for the dacron.

Currently I am using a waxed thread (looks like dental floss but 3 times the price) and a bit of Super Glue.

Any tips appreciated.

I use the same stuff made for tying flies, whipping thread(?). After pulling the top layer of dac down tight, whip the last 3 cm approx. Finish it with Sellys 'quick grip'. It is nearly excatly the same as 'dac tac' (distributed by topshot) which is what many people use, only a fraction of the price. You've got to make sure that the dacron is streched really tight down the leader, as that is what makes it all work.
