It's both actually. I either use mono to FC or mono to mono. What is your suggestion. I've been using M to M recently. I'm not sure florocarbon is a invisible as they say so I'm using mono to see. Hum, any examples of this? Hard to visualize. Sounds promising.

I'm new to this forum and am not sure how to reply to individual suggestions. So for now I want to say thank you to all that responded with advice. I still have to figure out how this site works. You all have been very helpful.

I shore fish for bass in SoCal and was wondering if anyone can offer advice on best mono to mono knot to tie. On one of my rigs I use a 3000 spinning reel with 8lb HiVis yellow monofilament fishing line and about 6 or 7 feet of 8lb florocarbon leader. I use it to fly line baits like fat ika's and the like. I do alot of night fishing and my eyes are bad. The HiVis yellow allows me to see strikes and pickups easier. I'm not a fan of braid so I would like to stick to mono. I am tying a blood knot currently which ties really well. However, I have had some failures with it on bigger fish. It handles 2 & 3 pounders well, but I have lost a few larger fish on it. I have tried the Alberto knot but I have trouble getting the wraps to cinch up. It works great for briad but like I said, I'm not a briad fan. Any advice on improving my ability to tie the Alberto or a similar knot for mono to mono, I would appreciate. I do not like the uni to uni and I would like something relatively easy to tie.
