Knot for Braid to Floro - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have been using a modified albright (Alberto) knott. It worked great when using 65lb braid to 50lb flouro then I switched to 40lb Segar pink label and it is thinner and the same knott with 5 turns in each direction let the flouro go, after 10 minutes of pulling super hard to cut through the kelp stringers. I lost my first hook up. So I re-tied and used 7 turns in each direction and had no problems pulling the next 3 yellow out of the same kelp mess.
