Preferred knot for braid to fluorocarbon?

I use the crazy Alberto. Good knot. Saw a new one yesterday on another site that looked real good and easy to tie. The lefty kreh knot I think it was called.

So easy a caveman could do it

Double uni is what I use. A little practice and you can do it very quickly. Basically you make two intertwined loops and then tie both uni knots.

Knot strength is over rated imo unless you are doing something like amberjack fishing on structure. Inshore fishing your drag should be set at like 5 lbs max and using 10-20 lb test line you won’t ever be getting close to worrying about anything breaking.

Been using the double uni. Sometimes it is near impossible for me to get a leader to keep the wraps and often slips off the braid.

I'm not sure what you're doing when you're tieing this knot, but I never have this happen and have been using double uni knots to join braid/superline to fluoro for probably close to a decade. Everything from 8lb Nanofil to 8lb fluoro up to 80lb braid to 80lb fluoro. The only thing I change is when using main line that is significantly smaller than the leader, I double the braid.

All that being said, the double uni is not the absolute best knot to join lines. The crazy Alberto is. I dont have issues with line breakage, but for the ultra serious guys who put a ton of stress on their knots, the crazy Alberto generally wins. It takes a while to learn to tie proficiently, but I'm sure with a little practice it would become second nature.

ETA: this is the double uni I use. I've actually seen a couple slightly different variations so if you're having trouble with your knot seating properly, try this version. It helps a lot to tighten down each side independently instead of trying to tighten them down simultaneously. I also use less wraps for the leader than for the braid. Usually 4 for the leader, 6 for the main line.

All good replies fellows
I will keep up with the double uni
Using 30# flouro on braid and it seems to want to unwind
Dunno but will keep practicing and give the others a try
Thanks

Double uni. I think of it as a couple overhand knots except you pass the tag end through several times

YouTube lefty kreh knot. It is the easiest that I have found and I have not had any issues.

Didn't realize that's what it was called but, me too. Strong and get's through guides easy.

Never had a problem with the double uni

I have never had issues with a Berkley double. Very similar to the Alberto. I basically stick with a Berkley or Palomar for almost everything except boat docks.
