Thinnest, strongest, FG knot. Good knot but next to impossible to tie on the deck of a boat or in wind. Great if your sitting at your kitchen table.

For line sizes that big FG knot without question. I have no problem tying the FG knot on a boat. Takes a little practice, but it's not a difficult knot.

I use the Alberto knot. Never heard of the crazy alberto so I'm gonna have to look that one up It's like the Alberto, you just have to go on a 3 day tequila binge and not shave, then when you tie it it will be a crazy alberto.

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.
For 65 to 25 flouro, the crazy alberto is what I use, but I've gone to 30 lb flouro leader material for a couple of reasons. The double uni is a great knot for joining line as long as the line diameters are close to the same. For that big of flouro, the line diameters are significantly different.

I actually have a hard time with the Alberto...tho it's a great knot. I just use the double uni, never had a problem...it's just a little bigger knot than the aleberto, but easier for me.

If that's the way you want to do it use an FG knot... Cleanest straightest strongest braid to flouro leader

Three or four turn surgeons knot here for 15 to 8 or 10 pound flouro. Simplest knot and it works on light line.
