Trying this Fluoro leader deal..need some help

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me the best knot for tying braid to fluoro leaders?

And then maybe post an illustration to how to tie it or a link?

Thanks!

I've always used the uni-uni, but just recently tried the modified alrbright and I like it so far.  It is a little smaller, I don't know how strong it is, haven't caught any fish with it... yet.  

The surgeon knot is the best, but if you have enough leader to where the knot goes through the guides, casting will be a PITA. I use the uni-uni knot, but I will be doing a side by side comparison with the Alberto knot this year.

I've been using the J-knot. Simple to tie and no break-offs yet. What ever knot you use, wet it before you tighten it.

I have been using the Uni-Uni.  It passes through the eyelets pretty good.  I sure would like to learn a thinner knot though.

I typically find this line to line knot to be the week link in my set up.  But I still use a leader religiously.

I've tried a bunch but have settled on the Alberto's know or modified Albright.  I am using it because it is small and doesn't require glue, therefore, it passes through the guides easily and quietly.  It doesn't have that clack clack like the ones with glue.
