 you can just put a loop connector on the tip of your floating line then just loop on the poly leader. As for tippet, just cut a 2-3 feet section by either blood knot it on the poly leader or tie a loop knot and loop on the tippet so you don;t have to cut the poly leader back futher each time tippet broke off. goodluck fishing tomorrow.
