A wise man once told me that if you hang bottom and stretch your leader you change it.If you fight a big fish the first thing you do is change it after the fight.Tighten your knots with spit,gloves and pliers.Personally I started using a palomar on some of my leaders and a modified trilene knot on others.I modified it myself over the years to what works better for me.Never had a real problem with either.When I put a leader on I give it the pull like a mofo test just to reassure the knots and hardware will not fail on a fish.
