How to Quickly Change Fly Lines

Today, we're going to address a common question: How do you swap out a fly line quickly?

Whether you're on the water or preparing for a fishing trip, changing fly lines doesn't have to be and shouldn’t be a hassle.


Let’s discuss the benefits of keeping the loop on the back end of your fly line and introduce a handy tool that simplifies line storage and swapping.

You might be wondering why fly lines come with a loop on the back end when we're often advised to cut off loops on the front end. The loop on the back end serves a crucial purpose when it comes to swapping fly lines. 

It allows for easy attachment and detachment, making line changes a breeze. Instead of cutting off this loop, we recommend keeping it intact for added convenience.

To store and organize your fly lines effectively, we recommend using the Omnispool Switch Box. This handy tool comes with a crank and provides a convenient storage solution for your fly lines. 

With this switch box, you can carry multiple fly lines with you on the boat or keep them neatly organized at home. It's a must-have accessory for fly anglers who frequently swap out lines.


Now, let's discuss how to quickly change fly lines using the Bimini Loop connection. This connection is especially useful when dealing with heavier lines or targeting larger fish species. 

By creating a Bimini Loop in the backing, you can easily attach and detach fly lines without the need for complex knot tying. The Bimini Loop provides additional strength and durability, ensuring a reliable connection.

Changing fly lines doesn't have to be a tedious process. By keeping the loop on the back end of your fly line and utilizing the Bimini Loop connection, you can quickly swap out lines without compromising strength or reliability.
