For those of you who use this method, what kind of knot do you use to attach
the butt end of the leader to the mono extension? Blood or surgeons, I
presume, yes?

c) finally tie a foot or two of final tippet (three weight?) to your
tapered leader.

I don't think I've ever heard leader/tippet material referred to with the
term "weight". Seems it is most often sized by the "X" designations, or
less frequently by pound test rating or diameter.

Is the term "weight" when referring to tippet one of them there fancy-pants
Anglicanizations? :-)
