    I tie flouro to braid and have used the Uni to Uni for years it works good. But as of late I have chosen the John Colins knot to join lines it is also called the RP knot for Royal Polaris it has worked very good for me and it is a smaller knot then the Uni to Uni. I'm sorry I don't have a link but the one I watched was from John Collins himself.

    Mono-Flouro= Double Uni

    Braid-mono or flouro= Alberto

It is super fast to tie and even easy for my old fingers and eyes! I am not sure how it works with mono to floro; but you might give it a try.

    That's a clean looking knot, behaves a lot like the old worm knot. Roy Rose is very similar, I think a little quicker but not enough to crow about. Ends with a quick snap instead of a gentle closing tug. Both are quick, easy and clean. Sure beats tying a Bimini first!

    I stopped using that over priced line stick to mono for me lost all my big fish that I did hook (stripers) the flouro would snap. I use a little lighter line (mono) for my leader and all is good again but hey just my 2 cents...

    Just curious...did your flouro break on the knot, at the hook, or somewhere along the line?

    Usually at the hook.

    Default I'll give it a try

    I'll add it the list of knots to try. I've never used flouro but knots that always work for me all of a sudden AREN'T. I'm trying Seaguar Invisx so maybe it's a brittle brand. If I can find a line to line knot that'll work I'll work on knot (Palomar?) that'll work for the hook.

    Try the Alberto For flouro to braid, looks intimidating but after a little practice I can tie in 30 seconds. I trust this knot over ALL others, its a chinese finger trap style knot so the more the fish pulls the tighter it gets and the stress is spread throughout the knot instead of a single point. I use this on my all my Tuna rigs and it has never failed at the knot. super small diameter makes it ideal for freshwater application.

    San Diego Jam for the hook, quick as the palomar but like the alberto spreads the stress throughout the knot.
