I run 50 lb braid backing on my baitcasters. What knot do yall use to connect flouro to the braid backing? I also usually put a piece of black electrical tape over the knot and then spool the flouro on.

I use an Albright knot any time I'm tying braid to mono or FC whether it's to a leader or to backing.

Crazy/improved alberto (7 turns down and 7 up) for braid to fluoro.
Tying braid directly to the spool can be risky if you ever get spooled. Braid has very little stretch and could damage the gears if a big carp or catfish pulls on a spooled reel. I'd back the braid with about 10 yards of 10lb mono and a small knot (improved alberto three turns down and three up.

Miss A Mart! I watched that years ago and have used it since for all line to line knots. For reel backing, I do the same, but only wrap it 4-5 times.
