Per the request of people on this site I've started using this knot and it's great. Just yesterday I was casting and my braid had a wind knot and snapped. The braid itself snapped before the knot did, and I was impressed. I was using 30lb braid with 20lb fluro leader. I've gotten really good tying this knot just by using a small piece of a drinking straw about 1.5 inches long.
