Trimming your tag end?

As in a Lefty Kreh knot?

Yep!

I like to keep it short but not right at the knot. Always leave a little bit of room for slippage.

Same here. If the knot doesn't suck up into a perfect TIGHT stacked hangman's noose the knot will slip and short tag lines will pull through the knot. Have lost a few lures because of this.

Right at the knot. As close as possible. Never an issue.
