I use a 50 mono loop. Attach it at the tail of the fly before you start tying. Leave it hang while you are tying. Connect it at the head of the fly when done. Couldn't be easier. Works for when I am casting to redfish on grass flats.
Try the mono loop as suggested by Capt. Gordon. For freshwater sliders, poppers, etc. I now tie a loop on each side of the hook and tie them in together at the head. I find 30 # is a little easier to work with but still stiff enough to fend off the weeds. If this works on my home bassin' waters in the pads and slop, it's got to work in the salt.
