Have you tried tying a bimini in the dark and wet on the rocks in winter....not easy ...well not for me at least.I was shown the spider hitch by a well known penn points winner on this forum and have found it as strong but easier.I tie the spider then tie the loop to the leader and the leader to the loop with a grinner (uni) knot.
I ll post a video clip of it over the next couple of days, I have not been losing anywhere near the number of leaders I used to and it is so easy to tie as well.
