I use 1oz weights when I fish currents.

When I use a steel leader with a hoop, I’ll attatch a swivel snap to my line then attach the leader hoop to the swivel snap. (I use a 30lb swivel snap)

The three basic knots that help out alot are:

The Polomar knot
The Albright knot
The Clench or improved clench knot

This is by far my favorite knot, the "Uni Knot", it’s simple easy, super strong, and has many uses.

However, is you are using braided line, than this knot my come loose, as will most knots used commonly in mono lines. You should use a knot that requires the line to be doubled, you can tie this knot if you double the line when passing the line trough the eye of the hook. Otherwise a good simple knot is Palomar knot, or double Palomar knot:
