Here's a few knots to make sure you won't miss the big one.

   The Albright knot is primarily used for joining monofilament lines of unequal diameters, such as your main line to a fluorocarbon leader or shock leader. It is not an easy knot to tie but a good tight Albright is small and won't catch on the rod guides during a cast

The blood knot is maybe the most common way of joining two pieces of nylon of similar thickness together. Wet the knot before you tighten it. Very important that you tighten it evenly. Each turn should , when the knot is tightened, lie even next to the nearest turn, they should not cross each other

The butterfly dropper is quick and easy to tie. Creates a loop that will stand away from main line. This knot is most suitable for lines with breaking strains of over 15 kilo. Make sure you tighten this knot securely or it can slip.

The centaury knot is principally used to attach hooks through the eye to the line. Works well on a wide range of line strengths and claims to retain 96% of breaking strain

Swivel to double knot : this knot allows you to attach a swivel to a loop, a very useful knot.

The grinner knot  is a very strong knot, great for tying swivels hooks etc to the main line.
