ALL great knots and the proper applications for them, as well as excellent advice from Tony about leader wallets. I tie enough leaders to begin my season with and continue tieing throughout the year. Also, don't be bashful when it comes to stripping worn spool line. The leader may be good to go , but the main line could be depreciated and that can end up in a night of frustration, bro.
My favorite book of knots is Vic Dunaway's "Baits, Rigs, and Tackle" wherein he details every knot and why to employ them.
Another great link is Grog's Fishing Knots Index that provides animated, step-by-step knot tying that you can freeze frame by frame until you get them down.
The only tip that i would add is to moisten all leader and spool line material prior to tying yer knot. It makes a huge difference and i also use 50#(BGame) for my mono leaders material. Mr Dunaway gave me that tidbit, himself
