learn the homer rhode loop knot and keep plyers and snippers handy at all times.
snaps are for canvass. knots are for fish.
some guys swear bye added attraction of snaps like they swear bye tailwraps but for me it's knot or nuthing.
Check out the no-slip mono loop too. 90% or more breaking strength. The Homer Rhode is a good knot but it tests out at about 50% of your line strength with lighter leader material. It works great with heavy leader material or wire, but be careful when you start getting under 30# test.
pete,, i'm using least 30-50#fluro,, homer-rhode works for me the main line will bust first.
10-15#?? , i double surgen knot 'bout 2 1/2 feet so now i got two lines running to the plug, and sinch knot it.
i'd be interested in your knot though, another one to practice,,

It's what I use to attach to just about everything these days if I'm not using a snap and need a loop. The loop itself instead of the knot breaks if I'm lazy enough to not retie all day. For real heavy leader (80+) I go to an improved clinch or a Homer Rhode.
