Ja, ja..Psy, have you tried to tie it the different methods? The last vid posted was the first way I got into tying it, I do the wraps like the IGFA video shows now though, much easier and quicker than the original way. There is another video by the "salt strong" guys that also shows this way.
Don't know so much about their finishing, I make more half hitches so there is less chance of the mono tag catching, as well as making a little smooth knob with lighter, as I'm spinning with the knot. If I have to retie a leader in the action I'll just do the same way as the IGFA way basically though, if I have time I'll do more half hitches for a ramp and treat the bulb of mono with more time as opposed to cut chopping it flush. Either way I'll do a half hitch on the braid, then an opposing direction one, to lock the tension, half-hitches in the same direction slip.
Tie it and pull the cr@p out of it, the only way to test a knot..
