Which tool do you use? I've been tying it freehand using the rod in a holder or wedged in my legs for tension. It works fine at home or on a calm boat but would be hard in some seas.

I have the knot assist 2.0 tool.
It makes the job a much more compact operation (it doesn't require using the rod) and tension remains more controllable.
I had several knots fail (while casting of all things) when tied using the "no tool method". That has not been an issue since.
