Default knot strength?

Ah yes, the old "nailess" nail knot. That is how I tie my leader to
flyline. Costs nothing to do, never fails, easy to learn, never hinges
during casting, and has a certain elegance that would satsify even the the
elitest of the elitists.

Being a traditional literalist (literal traditionalist?), I use a nail,
which I'm pretty sure cost less than that.

It's easy enough to douoble the line back on itself and use the line as
the "nail". This reduces the price of the tool to zero.
