Knot for Braid to Floro

I just spooled up braid on an Avet SX and am looking for opinions/preferences on the best knot for tying braid to floro.

Thanks!

I use a bob sands knot for that connection, and a spangler for hooks and such. I have a pdf of it I can email you.

Improved Albright for floro to braid. Super easy I can tie it on the yak all day long.

Ditto. The JC / RP is super easy to tie, strong and really small profile so it doesn't get hung up in the guides. My favorite for braid to fluoro or mono connections.

x2

Nothing but Bob Sands for me now. Too many failures on the double uni when going from braid to fluoro (braid to mono seemed to always be ok with the double uni though).

My go to has been the Albright. Its worked very well for me. I enjoy learning new knots and have been working on the fg knot. Its not too easy to tie, for me at least, but its 100% at absolutely the tiniest Braid to fluoro/mono connection. Plenty o tutorials on YouTube. Check it out. Mike

Albright all the way. Long strong and slim and casts through guides well if need be. Can tie in under 30 seconds.

Hey - Thanks to all you guys for the suggestions.
I have been watching Youtube Knot tying videos and following the tying links on all of these and figure I better learn at least 2 of these really well.

All good advice. I really appreciate it.
