I know the rule is remove the lead, but I tied a few knots in the basement with the lead in and out. Pulling with a spring scale, I found leaving the lead in was a stronger knot.
It don't make sense, but thats what I found, so now I leave the lead in. Try it both ways. Oh and I tie something like a double bimini, one line tied on the other. Its not a knot you will find online, its passed down from generations.....just experient and find the best for your set-up.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
