I have been fishing jigs with either a MH baitcasting rig with 50# braid, or a ML spinning setup with 10# braid. In clear water I typically attach a 10# fluorocarbon leader. The problem is that sooner or later I try to set the hook on a fish, and the knot connecting the lines will fail. I started out using a double uni knot, and after a few failures, tried an Alberto knot, which failed even faster.
It typically happens when I've been fishing jigs with a series of sharp twitches, which I believe is helping to loosen the fluorocarbon. Then when I apply more pressure, with a hookset, it finally gives completely. Occasionally I superglue a knot, but I would rather not rely on that.
Any suggestions, or other knots that will hold up better?
