I like the improved Albright knot, very strong and has a small diameter for going through guides.
Cheers,

I use the blood knot, but don't use braid much.
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together

An Alberto knot is smaller than the others mentioned and it is a great knot to use.

I use the blood knot, but don't use braid much. What exactly IS 'blood knot' ?? not sure how to explain it. its an old knot and what ive used for a long time. its hard for me in rough water and wind to tie it cause my eyeballs arent what they used to be. might look it up for a good diagram. 2 lines, pinch in middle, make 7-8 wraps and one side back thru. do the oppisite direction on other side. spit on it and suck it up. slowly
