Double San Diego Jam knot, palomar knot, and the improved clinch knot. Only three knots I tie with braid/fluoro.

You have to decide which is more important.

We tie what we call a double palomar. You completely loop the line around the eye once before starting a regular palomar knot. Its worked well for me.

with most knots braid tends to slip a little. As a rule of thumb I will leave at least 3/8" of tag line.

Like cbow said, most braid will slip a little at the knot because of there not being any stretch. Make sure to pull both the tag end and main line really tight when using braid, then leave 1/4" tag after. Double clinch is a great knot, I use the improved cinch, same theory with it.

With braid direct to lure I use a Palomar with 2 half hitches My neighbors add a drop of super glue to their Palomars for heavy frog fishin'. The double uni is good for braid to floro. I use a surgeons loop for that, strong and simple to tie.
