I've used my fair share of leader knots over the years and I'm now using the reversed albright as described in previous posts... 8 turns up and... 8 turns down and pass the line back through the loop the same way as the line coming up . I use it on tapered shockleader and the knot is pretty neat. The problem I find with it is you need to trim the tag end very neat cause it faces in the direction of the line flow. I would not use this knot on a standard leader cause the knot would be too bulky. Having said that I have found this knot very strong and comparable in strength to the Bimimini twist as mentioned in previous posts.
Kstaff has always been the new black in my eyes anyway!!!!!!!
