Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
Seal tip of fly line with either glue or flame. Use a piece of mono and put through braided loop. Push sleeve over loop just enough to expose seam join. Insert and push the line into hollow braid until it butts up against the braided loop. Holding the mono, pull/stroke the sleeve down the braid and over the fly line.
