If you like a stiffer leader material but it doesn't knot real well for you, or even if it does, it might be worth trying some sort of knot tying lube.

I like using 60# Seaguar in the surf, but spit never seems to make the knot cinch down real nice; it still seems to catch a bit as I tighten it unless I use something to make it knot better.

For stripers I use a Palomar to go from my 50 or 65# Power-Pro to my swivel, then the Improved Clinch w/ Seaguar to go from the swivel to the snap.

For offshore critters, I go Bimini to an offshore swivel knot. Bulky, but strong.
