Leaders do not have too much flexibility built in. However you can do a few things.

Inside the project select the tag family which you want to change. Then select Edit Type and choose a different arrowhead.

You have a small selection of different arrowheads. Until now (Revit 2015) you are not able to create your own arrowhead and are limited to the ones provided.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

There is a loop arrowhead, but you have to load it. Go to Manage -> Arrowheads and create a Loop style, pick the Loop arrowhead and the size, then you can use it in your project.

can you make the lasso loop end longer? currently if i use this loop. it only circles 1 conduit at a time. i would like to stretch it out to show multiple things being lassoed and are at the same elevation with one loop. thanks.

You  can only change the size as mentioned in the solution but I wouldn't make this one bigger, though. I would make a copy of it and change the size of the copy.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

You can't do that with an arrowhead.

So technically you do need to make it bigger so it picks up more pipes. What I did is I made it larger and when I place the tag I change it from attached to free then I can move the loop w/o affecting the text. Seems to work ok for us
