Question: is it best just to go ahead and use the nail knot (which is
working fine) or is there some reason to learn to tie this loop to
line? If so, can someone point me to an online resource for the
knot? (I also intend to inquire at my local shop, but thought I'd ask
here first.)

Thanks in advance, and please be gentle.

Put a permanent loop of monofilament on the end of your line, and loop the
leader to this.

For the monofil loop on the end of your line, you can use a nail knot or
similar.

You can also use "line connectors" or "cast connectors" ;

A search on google should turn up an American source for you.
