What knots do you recommend for joining two lines together?? Do you use the same knot for joining two different kinds of line (braid & mono) as you do for joining the same kinds of line (say fluorocarbon)?

Uni to uni (double uni). Works for same line, also works for braid to mono/flouro. Relatively easy to tie.

X 2.  There are other knots that according to others here work just as well. As with any knot, properly tying it makes a big difference .

3X I have used a nail knot, but I have had them slip so I want back to the uni - to- uni knot

Adding line, same type and diameter: Blood Knot

Hey thanks again for that link Roadwarrior. I was practicing tying those Alberto Knots the other day while the NFL Draft was on. I like it better than the Double Uni becasue it has a smaller profile, although it's not as easy to tie.
