so im planning on building my own leaders but have a few questions. First the gear im going to be using. 124lb tooth proof wire, owners solid unbreakable ring(150lb), owner hyper wire split ring(120lb), and a spro power swivel(120lb). my question is how to put the thing together? do you just twist the wire around itself (haywire) and if so how many times? I just feel like it wont hold good, but then again, i have no experience with wire. Also I read that a little super glue around the tag end and over the twist helps so the line doesnt get stuck in it, or should i use a sleeve? Pictures would be helpful, I have been looking all over for some good pictures and just cant seem to find any.
Thanks in advance for your info.
It might take you a little to get it down, but it is pretty easy after getting the hang of it. I use a small round nose pliers to make my bend and then basically follow this video:

I don't do as many twists/wraps as he does, but you definitely can if you want to.
Many people use a barrel wind with solid ring swivels on one end, like this:

On the other end I put a solid ring like the Owners you have, and attach a split ring to that. Like this:

I use the Dubro tool for the barrel twists, but you don't have to. I use round-nose pliers for the loop.
