Agree about all the above. I feel naked without a "shocker" length leader; therefore, I handle reties under combat conditions with already made up leaders (with Fastlink already knotted on), and a short length of braid already FG knotted on the other end. Then, all I have to do is tie a quick blood knot, braid-to-braid.
I am making the assumption, of course, that you CAN tie a bloodknot under combat conditions, where your buddy is into his 3rd fish in 3 casts, while you are rerigging...
