I have tried a few and am looking for a fast easy knot to connect 2 lines and not worry about losing a pig....

Don't know if it is the best but I use a Double Uni-Knot in that situation.  Have also done the blood knot too.

thanks!

Well the best is a Bimini ... But Albright is what I use in fresh water and light line applications

Don't really know the name but Google Pete gluszek , not sure if I spelled his last name right but he has a video of a knot him an ike use. I've used it for years can tie with your eyes closed, passes through any type of guide without problems and yes I've caught and never lost some hogs.

Another vote for the Alberto. Take the time to learn it. You won't be disappointed.

fast and easy, that would be the triple surgeons knot. Hauled in a sand bag without it breaking.

Modified Albright (aka Alberto) is the Knot Wars champion in the line to leader category.  Check out this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R_2xautA1U

So far for me, nothing I've tied beats an Alberto.

I tied an Albright for the first time recently. Was a lot easier than I expected, and super strong.

Alberto. I use it on all my connections. Once you learn to tie this knot which isn't very hard, it's the only braid to mono/FC you will every use. 

Another vote for the Alberto knot. It casts great through the guides like it's not even there.

Single uni

Alberto

^^THIS ^^ !!

Single uni

Huh? Explain.

Alberto and be done with it.

Double-uni

Double Uni (my preference) or Alberto each work well.

Lots of good ones honestly

Uni to uni

alberto

bimini twist

albright

I use the albright. 1 im good at it. 2 i never lost a tarpon because of my leader knot! If its tarpon proof it is d**n near chuck norris proof

This is one of the better demonstrations I've seen tying the Bimini.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zScy2Fbnlg.  IMO it's very time consuming and not easy to tie on a rocking boat in windy day.  A good knot none the less but not really any stronger than making a loop using a 5 wrap uni knot as Jose Wejebe ties in his video, which is what I use.

 

When it comes to my everyday fishing, 7 wrap straight up Albright holds larger jacks and tarpon just fine, and takes just seconds tie.

My favorite knot for any leader is the J knot. I can tie the alberto and it is very good and easy, but I find the J knot to be easier. 

Single uni, not sure if ill explain well. But take fluro make a 180 and pinch it so its got an "eye" bring braid through wrap around fluro which will be doubled up, seven wraps and then back through hole. Some old guy in florida showed me. Caught alot of big snook amd reds never had breakage

I've heard stories of braid cutting thru the F/C, some may want to try this.  I tie the Albright in the traditional manner as well as this way too.  Wrapping the leader over the braid instead of braid over the leader eliminates any chance of the leader being cut by the braid, as the braid is on the bottom.  I've see no difference in knot quality, I think the knot is called a Bristol knot.

I tir the braid over the flouro. Never had an issue with tarpon, snook, reds, and permit. Well i had issues bit it wasnt a knot problem. Wrecks,crab traps, bridge pilings, straightened hooks, tail whips, sharks, etc caused the issues lol
