Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more.

Connecting Fly Leader and Fly Line. The connection you make between your fly leader butt and the fly line is important. If you decide to use a knot, the easiest is the tube or nail knot. The needle nail knot is the most secure of all the leader/line connections, but it takes more time to tie. A good fly shop will set up your line and leader for you.
