Shockleader Knot (The other end)

Hi,
Any recommendations for attaching shockleader to a leadlink.?
I haven't managed to track down any of that Slippery Polecat yet so am using 60lb Ultima. ( Probably just me, but it doesn't seem the most knot tying friendly stuff.)

Cheers.

Hi mate I use a half blood knot making sure I really wet it before drawing it tight.

Think that's what I've being using up until to now, just known it a 'Trilene'.
The problem seems to be that,even with a relatively long tag,if the knot gets twisted along its length, the return to the initial double loop slips over the coils.......... and I'm left with an undone knot. ( But none of the stuff that came after it )

5-turn half blood - Thread end of leader through the leadlink, fold it back the way it came, five turns and then thread end through the loop - tighten with spit on it.
