Yes... ^ this...finally you are learning, grasshopper.

I never really have to retie a connection knot on the water...as long as my leader doesn't get cut too short...or get abraded.

But even if you have to tie knots on the go, it's worth taking the minute or two to tie an actual good knot.

Red Phillips looks interesting...but it is still a double line...making the size of the knot twice as thick as the mono/fluoro diameter. I'll stick to my "Ken's knot"...tried, trusted and true...never failed.
