Ditch the leader when you can. I have been using the Alberto knot to leader around rip rap, and I like it.  I sometimes also use a 4 turn surgeon's knot on the water, as it is easy to tie.

I have large, clumsy hands and I suck at tying knots. I literally thought the FG knot was a myth til I watched a video of a guy putting the leader material under his foot to keep tension on it. I can tie one in less than 45 seconds, now, and the size/ strength of that knot blows my mind every time I look at it
