Need help with what knot to use to connect mono to flouro. I have spooled mono underneath my flouro to keep costs down and not have a whole spool of flouro. Anyone have any reccomendations? thx!

Have to use a double uni, pretty easy after the first few trys, but I couldn't for the life of me try to explain how to do it. Good info here, it is the very first post on this topic.

I like the Albright knot, easy to tie and the line will break before the knot fails. Be sure to use 25 to 30 wraps for max strength.

Cheers,

good tip on the uni to uni! never had any problems with it breaking or slipping

I use a nail knot tool to tie a nested nail knot. Never had one fail.

Previously, I was using the uni-uni, but I have switched to the Double Albright. I do 9 wraps down and 9 wraps up, and it works so good I still wonder where this knot has been hiding all these years. It's the first truly streamlined knot that I've used, and when casting, or pitching, I can't tell it's there.

Same here !unreal strength and really easy to do.will never do another knot joining lines.

SAme here. Before, I was using a uni knot for all my line connections and leader connections. NOW I use the albright. It is a smooth knot. Double Albright is good also, but I make a decision before using the dbl-a. for me, it depends on the thickness of the lines I'm tying together. The important thing is lacing your wraps 9 up and then crossing those wraps with 9 down. This cinches the line. If neccessary, when tieing leaders, this knot can be tied while the boat is on plane to the next location during a tounament!

When using mono as a backer, the knot strength is not as important as keeping it small. You arre only attaching one line to the other. It's not a leader knot. Keeping the knot size small, will keep it from becoming an issue i a backlash get down in the spool.
