This is what I've come up with re: knots..based alot on a couple of articles by Art Sheck, threads on the forum, and
[url=http://www.froghairfishing.com/__knots.cfm:3d931]http://www.froghairfishing.com/__knots.cfm[/url:3d931]

Some general statements...

Notice I didn't say based on experience...

The clinch knot tends to be weak as does the surgeons...both of which I've used alot probably because of their simplicity...but I'm going to change.

Don't know how these apply to heavy duty salt-water fishing...

LINE TO LEADER:
Albright
Nail
Needle Nailess Nail... my choice

Loop to Loop if you like that system

LEADER TO TIPPET:
Ligature ...nylon
Orvis tippet knot...fluoro

TIPPET TO FLY
Orvis knot
Pitzen[16-20]
Davy knot

Non-slip mono loop ...in some situations
