patsac,
You don't need to. If you buy a 5x tapered leader use it for a while then tie on a new 5x section of tippet after you've either changed or lost a few flies. Unless you only have a 5x leader and want to fish with 6x.
Chetty,
As far as the nail knot, I use the speedy nail knot. It's so easy to tie. I'm sure you can find it online somewhere. I think Lefty Kreh describes it in a book. Definitely easier than the regular nail knot.
