I have always used straight braid or straight flouro. Considering to move to braid to flouro leader. I didnt want to highjack the other thread.
One which knots do you guys use to tie the leader to the braid? I was told by Tommy Martin to tie the double uni. Is that a good strong knot? Do you have any problem in very heavy cover? If I use 65lb braid and a 25lb lb louro leader will it handle handle cover like flipping button willows or heavy grass?
Thanks for any help.
Retirement best job ever.

Improved/crazy Alberto--quicker and easier for me to tie than the double uni.

I've been using the double uni for 20lb braid to 8-10lb fluoro on spinning rods. It passes through the guides well and hasn't failed on a fish on me yet. I haven't used it in the manner you're describing though.

Braid to flouro/mono is all I use. Alberto is a good easy knot to tie. I use a dab of knotsense just for a little extra protection of the knot. Every one of my reels is spooled with 50lb maxcuatro with the exception of my jerkbait and crankbait setups. 20lb maxcuatro for those.

Regular Alberto. Its stronger than the other knots in the chain. Ive very, very seldom broken at the Alberto. Usually its at or just above the hook knot.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.
