Default knotted leaders

Yes, I'd say so. Unrealistically fast, IMO. I can tie-up a leader in about
10 or so minutes, I guess. I've never actually timed myself. I measure and
cut a number of tippet lengths that I figure on tyin', and then tie. I
don't doubt a person can tie them up faster than myself. I feel that the
blood knot is the strongest and straightest tie for leaders. I don't know
this to be a fact, it's just my opinion.


FYI, the surgeon's knot tests stronger than the blood knot.
