| I've been tying my own for 4 years now and use a uni knot. No crimps or glue. |

Location: Canada | Pretty sure there are plenty of threads here on this topic. The SEARCH function should help. Not trying to be a dick. I tie my fluorocarbon and my mono casting leaders with a perfection loop knot. |

| I use the nail-knot tool that i got from rollie and helens...works perfect everytime. I always put a dab of super glue on the knot after its tied just to be sure |

| I second the use of a nail knot. I too use the tool from Rollie and Helens. It is about thirteen $. Very easy to use. If you look close on how Lee T. knot is made is it is basically a nail knot. Never had a problem with the knot and no sleeves are used that could cut into the side of the line. |

Location: montreal, canada | I also use uni knot for several year . If you really want to make sure that it never slip burn the remaining part of line when your done until it make a little round bubble it will act as a stopper if it slip .... And then glue it |
