    a double uni knot is easy & strong, just use a few extra turns in the braid..
    here is how to tie a double..

    The Stren knot is the strongest of the "simple" knots in my opinion. You will find it on the Stren web site. Simply a locked half blood knot in the braid and a uni in the mono.

    the albright knot is good for lines of differing thicknesses

    I've tried many of the popular knots. Uni to uni, Albright. Good knots but don't meet my need when I use heavy leader (80 lb) with 50 lb braid. Knot too thick and leader tag pointing towards top of rod. Can be a problem when casting using a baitcaster.

    I now use the Slim Beauty. As the name suggests it is a slim knot. Just as important though, is the leader tag points down the rod and doesn't click on the guides when casting.

    I use this knot for most braid to leader joins now. For extra strength, I double the braid. Easy knot once you learn it.

    I am with Normc.Have been using the slim beauty for everything from 8lb too50lb.
    Good knot for the extra long leaders where you need it to slide through the guides.

    I used to use the albright join because it's very easy and quick however i use the stren knot now. it takes a bit more time but it's still easy and much stronger as well this web page has plenty of different knots with the stren 2nd from the bottom.

    Improved Albright for me, easy to tie, low profile and runs through guides easy enough.

    Thanks for the advice fellas But I have decided to stick with me Snotty Knot [locked blood to locked blood].
    I tried some of the others but find I can't get the knack of em.
    At least with the Snotty I can tie em quick, even after picking me nose

    Well that should help strengthen the knot.

    I use an albright. Easy to tie and rarely, if ever, lets me down.
