[black][size 3]For what it's worth, I use blood knots for all the connections in my leaders, except for the tippet. To connect and change tippet material, I use the surgeon's knot, mostly because it's quick and easy to tie. I have done this for many years, and have never found a reason to go back to straight blood knots.[/size][/black]

[size 3]I also use the 3 wraps instead of the 2, as usually shown in knot tying instructions.[/size]

[size 3]At any time that I have come "unbuttoned" from a fish, it hasn't been because of the surgeon's knot.[/size]
