John S -- you may want to check out this site:

Very easy visual step by step instructions on some of the key knots. Like you, I used to only "know" one knot (an improved clinch), but thanks to these instructions and a little practice I now have mastered two other critical knots. The one thats made the biggest difference is the no-slip loop knot. I've found found this to be "the" knot for tying leaders to trolling spoons and flies; you get much better action than if you tie a clinch knot. Now I only use a clinch knot for hooks and of course to swivels.

The other great knot to know is the double uni knot to tie two lines together, e.g., leadcore to first leader, braided backing to leadcore, etc. As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words and these instructions helped me a lot.
