I am currently tying some of my own leaders for flies pretty much exactly as A-TOM-MIK does and was wondering if you prefer the Snell knot to tie on the treble or would you just do a Palomar? I have been tying the Snell knot but is a true pain in the butt. If memory serves me correct the Snell is a super strong knot that tightens as pressure is applied but the Palomar is one of the strongest knots used in fishing.
If you were to purchase the leader same price on both what knot would be your preference.
FWIW the Snell knot is traditional with the tail end buried under the wraps not on top.
