Bret is on a distinguished road
Now, down in CR, my buddies dont have crimps readily accessable and they tie 2-400 lb mono daily. They say the main thing is have something stationery that you can cinch the knot down with..and moisten it with spit( one of them has a 16/0 hook that was broke attached near the helm) They tie Uni knots mostly.. its pretty cool watching them make a new leader with a double offset hook without crimps.. Of course they make it look easy..
I have to practice a few before they cinch good.
