Knot for braid to mono

I’m struggling getting a knot to hold connecting 20/30 lb braid to 40/50 lb mono. Albright special isn’t holding for me. Any help is appreciated. It’s my first time surf fishing and using line this big.

I use the FG knot thanks to this board. I was thinking yesterday I need to put a new fluro leader on.

Surf fishing in this weather? Good luck

FG unless you are using less than 15lb line
FG knot for line to line and a canoe man loop to your bait is the best combo you will ever find

FG. Never had an issue with it not holding.

Double uni

Alberto is quick and easy. Can easily be tied while running in open water.
Alberto knot
I do usually increase the number of wraps to 8 especially if using Superslick Powerpro.

I've used uni to uni for decades without an issue. Easy to tie in under 2 minutes.

For pure strength, double uni. For going through guides, crazy Alberto. If I am doing it the night before and have more time, FG.

Uni or triple surgeons loop, make sure you use a generous amount of donor line or you’ll have slippage.

I typically use a modified alberto knot. The modified part is the last pass through the flouro loop is just tripled up. That modification has been a game changer for me. Havent had a knot come undone since. I also occasionally use a surgeons knot which is awesome also, just a little bit thicker than the alberto.

Double uni is undefeated

Modified Albright Knot; I use it tying braid to fluoro and have NEVER had an issue.

Blood knot...altho never tried with that big of mono

I have to youtube search knots everytime I need to do it. Haha. I do it so infrequently, only for swimbaits.

Alberto or uni-uni

Double Uni... all day long.

Guide showed me the lefty kreh knot. It’s simple and easy. Just wet the lines before cinching and pull slow. Look it up

I use a variation of the uni for almost all my knots. Double Uni is easy to tie and will hold. I even use it for snelling hooks, it is just so easy to remember one damn knot. I use to try the "best" knot for each application... using the uni makes me much happier, especially when trying to tie it on a boat.
