Don't be afraid to clip it as close to the knot as possible. The double uni is a little bulky thru the guides. I've got snagged a few times and lost the bait but not at the junction of lines.

Don't ask me how I know this.... I've been using the Alberto for about 4 years now tying 20# Sufix 832 to 8# & 10# fluoro on my crappie rods. I've hung up more times than I can even begin to remember and only broke the line to leader knot maybe 4-5 times over those years. Also caught a few big catfish and, again, never a line to leader failure.

Never had any troubles with it... Now that I bass fish I've had the same good luck... Yep... first fell in love with fishing at the coast... Uni to Uni was the norm for 35 plus inch reds back then if it was tied right... once caught a 39 pound jack off the north jetty at PA with 30 pound power pro and a 17 pound copolymer leader... melted the drag on the penn SS but the uni to uni held! Been a bass guy for 10 years and while ive had a few failures they were tying errors, not knot failures. Just haven't felt the need to try the newfangled knots. I'll use 60 braid with 25 fluoro with a uni/uni on clear water in heavy grass and it won't fail if you're careful tying it. The key is practice tying it until you can do it with your eyes closed. This. I don't think it has so much to do with knot preference as it does knot perfection. You just have to practice a bunch and get your knots down perfectly. I use a uni to uni as well with a number of different line size combinations.
