Questions on Redington CT (click and pawl) reel

Just curious, what do you do to minimize changing leaders (and
shortening your flyline) while at the same time keeping the knots to a
minimum? I've been using the loop-to-loop with an extra length of
tippet surgeon's-knotted to the leader.

Realizing you're not talking to me, I'll chime in anyway.

I tie new leaders onto a mono "butt end" with a blood knot. One butt end
lasts for quite a few leader changes. It's basically the thick end of a
new tapered leader.

I attach the butt end to the flyline with either a needle knot, a nail
knot, or a leader link.

Loop-to-loop connections on light tackle suck, IMO.
