Don't know if you can find them, I ran across them by accident at wal-mart one time. They're barbed eyelets that go into the end of you fly-line (which will be hollow) and make is so that tying your leader to line is the same as tying a line to hook (much simpler to us beginners)
Those are simple, but be careful. The day you take that rig to do some serious fishing is the day you'll hook one that that needed a solid knot. knots are a little intimidating at first, but now is the perfect time to be practicing them and it will add greatly to your fly-fishing efficiency which will help with everything else.

I know A guy who went with some buddies of mine on the Dechutes River, OR. The steelhead he hooked took all of his leader and LINE,WAY, WAY down the river. knot between line and backing was the culprit. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......and this guy teaches fly-fishing at a local college. Man I wish I was there for that one
