I just use the triple overhand knot to tie leaders on and I have never had any problems with it....I love the stuff. A lot of folks hate it. I have it in 1#....2#....3#....4#....6#.....12#......and 14# test. I have been using it since it was released. It will fray as you use it so you have to look at it after each trip and may have to cut off a couple of feet each time it starts to get bad. But when it gets what looks like tiny hairs on it that is no cause for concern. You can cast it a mile. agelessone uses it a lot also....and he will also tell you it has no resistance to abrasion....thus the need for a leader.
