Sorry, I can't keep it at 3. I use
Baldy for hooks and palstics.
San Diego for Irons
Spider hitch or surgeons loop for dropper looping
Uni to uni for conecting spec to mono/fluoro
Seaguar knot to connect fluoro to mono.

These work for me. Mike

The Best Knot
- is a knot that has been properly lubricated first - then drawn carefully and not too far along its main line.

If you apply this any of your favorite knots they will test better.
----------------------------------------
San Diego or Irwin for hooks, swivels, or irons.

Inshore connection for Spectra to Mono...
Albright, or Uni to Uni.
or
San Diego-Swivel-San Diego

Offshore
Bimini Twist to Albright Special for connecting Spectra to Mono.
or
Cat's Paw for loop to loop.

Didnt think about Dropper loops and stuff on my list. for rockfish and bass I just tie a standard DL, for larger fish a Rose Knot is my choice.

I also go Seaguar for mono/fluoro connections.

Spectra to mono I almost always have a Dacron loop but in a pinch will go with a Uni to Uni.
