What type of knot is best for tying a mono leader to braid?

Everyone will tell you their own personal favorites...I have tried them all, and find two that I like.

1. Uni to Uni
2. Modified Alberto

I find that the uni to uni does better going through the eyes of your rod, but the Modified Alberto is very strong and a bit better for bigger line...

Now, that is just what I use and it works for me.

I don't always fish with braid, but when I do, I tie a J-knot

blood knot or surgeon's knot (same thing) or albright. Like Surfmonkey mentioned, everyone has their favorite.

Either a uni to uni or a double over blood knot (just on the braid side)... major pain to tie.

Yep! that is the one I tied last week when I converted to braid, looks like you went to the same webpage.

Here's what I use Joe. Sometimes a PITA to tie, but it always seems to hold up.
