Default leadcore/leader help

How do you attach your leaders to the leadcore so that the knot holds? My eyes do not seem to let me see the Dacron well enough to feed the leader into the center of the leadcore line! Is there easier ways to accomplish this task?

If you can't do the willis leadcore knot you may want to try an albright knot. Not as small as the willis but is strong and holds good.

I have always use the uni to uni knot. This is the best knot when you have two pieces of line that are of different diameter.

Just push an 8 inch or so section of the dacron sheath back and cut off the lead. Then tie a uni to uni into the dacron and mono.

I like stripping 5-6" of lead out of the sheath and tying a #10 Spro swivel to the end of my leadcore and tying my leader that way...

Uni to Uni is the best knot I've found for this purpose also.
