Learn the FG knot. Stronger and slimmer. Simple to tie, but takes a while. It's not one you're going to be re-tying when out in the surf.

Simple to tie?
I haven't tried it myself, but I heard it wasn't easy. Not one to tie in the dark or in the surf. |

It's definitely a knot best tied in the garage and not in the surf or on a rocking boat, but in terms of the tying, although it takes a few minutes, it's really only two different steps--no more complicated than an Albright, but slimmer and stronger. Sportfishing Magazine has posted a couple videos on the knot that are worth watching. |

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... |

If that's the case I am using a pre made up clip to mono to swivel leader.
