Just wondering what peoples favourite knots are for braid to leader. Thinking of changing the current knot and want something that's quick and easy to tie.

Albright for me, braid to mono or heavy mono to lighter mono.
FG knot
Youtube is your friend on this
Back to back uni knot I find it doesn't get stuck on the runners like an albright.
Uni Knot on everything, can not remember any others. kp
Slim Beauty is another option
I do a variation of an albright called a no name knot
if you google it, I do a variation of it. I do four wraps up and three back then cynch it up. Using 60 leader

Uni to uni here. Hasnt failed me yet so I keep using it
That's a nice fish you caught... Do you mind if I use it for bait.
When using lighter gear like 3kg braid to 5kg leader its uni to uni for sure, 4 wraps on leader to 6 wraps on braid and pull each knot tight before pulling together, this is the key.
The GT (sometimes called Sebille) knot is the only braid to leader knot I now use.
Strong, very slim so it goes thru guides easily, and easy to tie.
This is the method I follow:

Note to self: Don't argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience....
Have always used back to back uni-knots, but recently started trying a 5 turn surgeon's knot. The surgeon's knot has been working well so far, although a 2 turn knot definitely slips, which is why I went to 5 turns.
Bimini twist to albight, braid to mono. Love this combo.
Yep the sebile is the slimest knot you can tie, iilove it, but a bit slow for qiuck retieOriginally Posted by Moonlighter

Have gone full circle and ended back at back to back uni, easy to tie and very reliable. GT knot good too but harder to tie well when on the water bouncing around
I've been used the Yucatan knot for some time without problems.
Has the bonus of being quick to tie during a hot bite!!
