The Perfection Knot is used for creating a loop in the butt end of the leader for a loop to loop connection
Hold the leader with the tag end facing right, and make a loop as shown. The tag end should go behind the standing line, and should now face down. hold this intersection with your left thumb and forefinger.
Take the tag end and form another smaller loop over the first loop. This loop should come up in front, and then down behind. Again, the tag end should now face down. Also hold this loop with your left thumb and forefinger.
Now bring the tag end up between the two loops. It should be in front of the first loop, and behind the second smaller loop. The tag end should now face up. Also hold this in your left thumb and forefinger.
Finally, reach through the first loop from behind and grasp the second smaller loop. Pull the second smaller loop through the first loop. The second smaller loop will be the one that becomes your final loop to utilize. Start snugging down on the standing and tag end. You can work line through different parts of the knot so you are left with the proper size loop when finished. When you have the knot snug and the loop is the desired size, you can now lubricate the knot, tighten it, and trim the tag end.
