My recommendation is always to test out your knot system prior to getting on the water so that you know where the weak link is to know where to focus on… for most saltwater anglers who use light main line for maximized casting distance with a stronger leader to withstand sharp/rough mouths, the weak link is most often at the line to line connection.The surgeon’s loop is strong, but it’s tough to tie when using a lure and it doesn’t leave a weedless tag end so I recommend the non-slip loop knot for that particular connection.According to the company, it is pronounced RAPala.
