Braid To Floro Knot

[smokethis]

So I'm going to give the fluorocarbon leader a try on my braided line and I was wondering what would be the best knot to tie it with? Any suggestions would be great

[Smokinal]

I prefer the Blood knot on almost everything except on my microguide rod which I use an Albright.

Great site to learn knots:

I was doing some research and seems like that is the strongest one I have seen. I am using it on an *** black *** so it's not a micro guide rod. Thanks for the info

Ive used a uni to uni a lot the past few years and have had nothing but stellar success with it. Usually 10lb braid to 6lb fluoro

The improved Albright is so simple I feel stupid for not using a leader on braid years ago.

Make a loop in your flouro feed the braid thru the loop maketen ten twists around the flouro go back thru the original loop wet and cinch clip tag ends. I've yet to break the leader at the knot

I use a Uni to Uni, or double Uni. I have heard it called both.

Once I started using the Alberto knot, I won't go back to anything else.

I have heard a lot of you guys using different lengths of leaders. has anyone had it hangup on the guides on casts? I just started using braid last year and never used a leader for that reason.

[Tartan34]

I haven't had a hangup with the Alberto, and I have fished it through micro guides.

I have had it hang up in guides, but rarely. I found that as I learned to tie leaders, getting the wraps consistent was so important, that and getting a good trim on the tag ends. Not so much the braid tag, but the leader tag. If it stuck out because I couldn't trim it with tools on-hand, it would hang up more often when trying to pitch the bait.

Practice.  Practice some more.  Practice when you think you have it!

same here ! Alberto Easy to tie and excellent strength

[plumworm]

Just use a uni/uni knot and don't sweat the small stuff. It works.

When I began using braid to fluoro or braid to mono I got impatient with learning some of the tougher knots.  I ended up going with the uni to uni (a couple years ago).  Easy to learn and hard to tie a bad one.  Holds up extremely well. 

[SirSnookalot]

I use an alberto for all line joining.

[doyle8218]

I use the uni to uni knot.

[Jolly Green]

I tried a few before settling on the Alberto knot, and it hasn't given me any problems at all. The knot that you practice and tie well will be the knot that works best for you; that said, I like the Alberto best because the fluoro basically stays put in your hand and all the wrapping is done with the much more manageable braid. It's not only simple, it's actually easy, on top of being effective.

[SoFlaBassAddict]

Albright or modified Albright (Alberto).

Hands down the two best. I've used them from fly fishing all the way up to giant off shore big game. The trick with the Alberto is to be patient and make sure it all seats properly.

[olegs]

I use the uni to uni knot.

[deadadrift89]

j-knot for me. It was stronger than seaguar and uni-uni for me. Never tried alberto

[mprestonSEK]

With lines of smaller diameter(8lb fluoro to 15lb braid) I use the Albright knot. With heavier line(20lb fluoro to 50lb braid) I tie the Alberto. Both hold up very well and go through the guides with no issues as long as you trim the leader material.

[Oregon Native]

I too like the double uni. I use five wraps on braid side and four on fluro side. Do it slow and keep wet and it's awesome.

[roadwarrior]

Alberto exclusively for me.

[OkeechobeeAngler]

Modified Albright when snook fishing.

[A-Jay]

Uni to Uni Knot.

 

Used to tie the Might Knot  . . . . . . . Might Hold - Might not . . . .

 

Sorry that was bad.
