Hey guys-

 

What do you think is the best knot for tying monofilament main line to a fluorocarbon leader or wire leaders that you can tie

Mono to FC, I use an alberto knot. Just make sure you lube the knot well before cinching. I do not use wire leaders, can't help you there.

I like the alberto knot to join 2 lines. I also never use steel leaders so I can't help there

I use the Alberto knot for joining light lines such as 6lb  to 10lb flouro leader

 

I use a regular albright knot for joining wire leaders because the wire can get bulky 

 

I use a back-to-back uni-knot if I'm joining lines of a similar size such as 50lb braid and a similar diameter flouro leader.

I normally crimp my wire leaders or use a haywire twist.  I have not used tie-able wire but my gut tells me to use a swivel.

For line joining or attaching a leader I go with an alberto, seems to be the best and easiest that I've used.
