Surgeon's Knot (Monofilament to Monofilament)
Unquestionably this is one of the quickest and strongest knots for joining leader material to line with unequal diameters. Some people get confused when looking at drawings of this simple knot because the drawings do not show the full leader length. Just remember to pass the end of the line and the whole leader through the loop twice. This Knot is used to attach tippet to the leader. Remember when using this knot that it will remain a strong knot if the step down in diameter does not exceed more than 30%. This Knot is not recommended for use when stepping up in line size for your leader, So you would not want something like 6lb to 8lb. test as the diameter difference is to great and will result in a very weak knot.
The Surgeon's Knot is a knot also used for attaching two pieces of monofilament together. It is a very fast and easy knot to tie and is usually preferred more than the blood knot. This is a great knot for joining two pieces of monofilament that are greatly different in diameter. When you are building a tapered leader, tied correctly, this knot is generally stronger than the blood knot. You can do this one in the dark.
