I have used the World's Fair Knot with the Tyger leader material and it resulted in less twisting and kinkage than any other knot I tried.

I've read that the Bowline knot works, especially on small diameter stuff, but I'm not sure just how strong it is. It's very easy to tie.

I wish I knew how those knots on "Invisaleaders" (by South Bend?) are made. They seem very tight, strong and low profile.

Location: Altoona, IA		Thanks guys, DJS I tried the WFN seemed strong but not as low profile as I am looking for. I will still keep searching, seems to be alot of people curious about a good knot for seven strand..
