    Lefty knot

    Has anyone had an experience with the Lefty knot? Seems a lot easier to tie than most others.

    Are we talking about the leader knot? If so, I've used it before, but had failures. Similar to the surgeon's knot and J-knot where I also had failures. I think the issue must that the braid doesn't play nice with fluoro in those knots.
