I use the albright knot for tying my leader on, here's a good site with a few different leader knots in animation, makes it a bit easier to see how to tie them.

but its massive, i use a little knot which gives very close to a binimi breaking stain.
Just a knot i made up really, never seen anyone else use it, had a few people ask about it too. But it is a small half hitch, and like a longer double grinner on the other side.
Lifted a 8lb fish up the pier on it last week, 20lb main line. I was fearing for it, was a relief when i got hands on the leader, and even more so when i swung it over and realised the size of the fish!Comment

I am with Andy on this 1, bimini every time, the bimini gives you the strongest joint of all because it actually doubles the BS of the main lineComment

That's a lot of mess on just for a shock knot, it says the tag ends won't catch as you cast! Maybe so but they'll catch on rings when you bring a half decent fish in.Originally posted by nathan92 View Post
A simple granny knot with line passed through and a grinner tied to other sides all you need. Simple, strong, easy and quick to tie.www.home-improver.com

Lots of variations mentioned but not the one I use.
Tie a simple overhand loop knot in the shock leader leaving a tag about 4 inches long.
Pass your main line through the loop coming from the tag side of the loop.You will need about 6 inches.
Pull the the shock leader knot tight so it does not pinch the main line.
Wrap the main line up the shock leader 4 times the down the shock leader 3 times. The downwards wrap overlays the upwards wrap.
This brings your main line back down to the overhand loop in the shock leader.
Slip the main line between the shock leader line and the first upwards wrap of the main line leaving about a 3 inch tag of the main line.
Wet the whole lot and then slowly pull the main line - you most likely will need to pull on the main line tag you left to keep the knot neat and flat.
Once the main line knot has slipped down to the shock leader knot pull the tight - I use pliers. Then pull the main line really tight - it will now form a tapered knot almost the same diameter as the shock leader knot.
Trim the tags off as close as you can and finished. Thanks to Colin Bell who taught me this.
I like this knot as the taper stops ring shock when you castComment
