Tie whatever is easier for you and quickest on the water.

i've been having trouble lately with light braid cutting through my leader knot....came across the varivas knot (below) its just a slight variation of the slim beauty but initial results look promising.

Interesting. Looks like a 2 turn Surgeon's knot +. I find a 4 turn Surgeon's knot the go for me. Regards HBt.

Tied at home. Growse posted up a great link in another thread on an easy way to tie it. Got it after four practice runs.

But if I lose my leader I'm pulling the reel with fc straight-thru out of my bag ... My fishing time is so precious I don't like having to tie knots. Same reasons I use clips ....

For people having issues with knots and light line I can't recommend the daiwa knot tool enough. I must be retarded or just get frustrated too easily but I really hate light line knots. Since using the tool I've been less frustrated and the knots seem to hold really well. Managed to pull in a 48cm Bigeye the other morning off the surface with 4lb leader and the knot held perfectly.

Although not on the topic I hope this helps.
