Leader Knots Discussion open!

[bigfin]

When attaching your leader knots to your mainline say 15lb to 60lb shock leader, what knot works best for you personally?

I've used the leader blood knot, and the uni knot, but I don't find them as strong as the albright knot, so I tent to use this one, (I also prefer tying it). I backcast so its put under a lot of pressure during the cast, over long distances.

Just interested if everyone uses the normal uni knot or leader blood knot or if you have a different knot of choice, and why?

Tie half knot at end of sh/leader wet with spit and pull tight with pliers or teeth, now get your mainline and go 6-7 times around sh/leader just behind knot, then bring tag end and form a loop, bring it in through loop and go around sh/leader again at least 4-5 turns, wet with spit pull up and then pull it all snug up tight behind knot on shockleader, trim off tag ends job done. The whole idea is the more thats pulled on the knot the tighter it becomes. I once got snagged and the tip broke of the rod leader knot didnt. Guy that showed me knot many years ago uses same knot on field and fishing and can cast 254yrds, 180yrds with 2 hook clipped rig he was also in the irish shore team 9 times. Dont pass line through knot as you will cause a week point. Very easy to tie and super super strong.
