I have been using this knot for two years now and cannot agree with them more. I see this question pop up a lot. Everyone will use a knot that they have confidence in and that is what its all about. However for those that are not sure here are blog posts and video of the knot and those that speak of it. It is very easy to tie and only requirs 7-8 wraps each way and it does slide through the guides very easily.

Wired to Fish Blog talks about it with some of the top Touring FLW pros.

I use the triple surgeons knot, have not had any problems with it and I could tie it in the dark.

I have been doing that for years fishing for tuna never knew it had a famous name. But I use a twist to this knot, starting at the end opposite of the loop wrap 7 times. Go thru the loop and then do 7 more wraps toward the FC leader. Make a small loop in the braid and pass the braid tag end thru 3 times and cinch it all down after wetting the line. Once the knot is tight trim the tag end of the FC close to the braid and do 7 overhand/ granny finishing knots and add some super glue, so it will slide thru the guides with no hang ups.
