As for tying the shock leader to the bimini loop in the main line, I use a two turn uni knot, when you make the two turns and pull the tag end through, don't pull up on the tag but pull up slowly with the main shockleader, the leader will pull into the bimini loop, it may take a few attempts though, it will be easier if you don't skimp on the lengh of the tag.
When you get it right, cut off the tag about 3mm to 4mm long, then you can use a lighter to melt back the tag, this will produce a little blob which will help to lock it up. same can be done on the bimini tag.
Good luck, hope this helps without confusing the issue
