Super User gim Posted May 9, 2022 Super User Posted May 9, 2022 What do you consider to be the best and/or easiest braid to fluorocarbon knot? I have generally used the double uni knot, but I'm recently experimenting with the Alberto knot. It seems to be a little easier to tie for me. Or maybe there is another knot I am not aware of too. I've heard of the FG knot but I've never tried it. Quote
TcRoc Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 All opinion . I go uni to uni… never had an issue. Best knot, no clue but has been 100% to me .Literally. Only break have gotten is at the hook when snagged and want to break off which obviously isn’t the knot at braid/flouro. Quote

For a connection knot the Crazy Alberto has worked for me, no failures. It is easier for me to tie on the water too. I do use the Uni knot for terminal and lure knots though. Again easier to tie on the water. Quote
cyclops2 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Trilene to Trilene. With a 1/2 hitch to prevent the Braided from sliding apart under load. I do 5 turns. Quote
RealtreeByGod Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Albright or Double Uni because they're the only ones I can tie Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Posted May 10, 2022 Easiest? The Lefty Kreh leader knot. From start to finish, 30 seconds, tops. I won’t say it’s the strongest. All I know is I have it tied on four rigs over two years and it hasn’t failed me yet. 1 Quote
Big Swimbait Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Agree with BrianMDTX. Super easy and it has never failed me. Quote

Super User T-Billy Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Posted May 10, 2022 8 hours ago, 5/0 said: Crazy Alberto. 7 wraps down & 7 wraps up. ^ This. It's compact and I've found it to be an easy knot to learn, and easy to tie on the water. I give it an extra wrap through the loop at the finish, before cinching as a little added insurance that it won't come undone. I've never had one fail, even after several days of passing through the guides. Line always breaks at the terminal knot or somwhere between the knots. Quote
ike8120 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I usr the Crazy Alberto. For me it is easy tie. Quote

Super User NHBull Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Posted May 10, 2022 Uni for spinning rod FG casting rod. Spend an hour perfecting the FG and it can be tied in 60 seconds. The PR knot is the thinnest and strongest knot in the planet and is also easy to tie if you use a bobbin For bass, 1/2 inch is all you need. Works great for microguides 1 Quote

Super User OkobojiEagle Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Posted May 10, 2022 For bass, I've been using the Albright leaving 1/2" PE line tag end. 1/2 the effort of an Alberto knot. oe Quote
