Straight braid if flipping grass. Straight flouro for everything else. Not gonna bother with a leader. I only use a leader for finnesse/spinning presentations.
If you can't find em wind em.

I still use the old blood knot, and it works great for 15# braid to 10# flouro on a spinning reel. Good luck

Me too, some things never become obsolete.

are you guys reeling the knot past the eyes on the rod? I know it will work on a spinning rod but how does that work on a bait casting reel and specifically does it affect when flipping and pitching a lot?

uni to uni for my spinning rod. I wouldn't flip with braid to anything with any knot.

I sat and practiced knots last night for a couple hours. I can tie the Alberto and crazy Alberto no problem. The FG knot is a biach for me for some reason. I'm going to try the first two and see how it goes. Thanks

Ditto on the Alberto! Have never had any issues with this knot. If I break off, it is almost always at the flouro to bait tie on.

I use the Crazy Alberto knot. One comment though. If I use the leader with flipping I try to keep it short enough that it doesn't have to come through the line guides. Seems to me when it runs through the guides it catches just enough to throw off your flip.

I tired braid to leader for a year. Tried all the knots, and settled on the FG. It's a pain to learn, but easy once you practice. It's the thinnest and strongest I've found, but it's longer than most. I never understood people saying it was hard to tie on a boat.
After a year, I've decided it was not worth the hassle. I use straight braid for most things, and copoly for most everything else. With the places I fish, the water isn't clear enough to worry about spooking the fish.
