I tied a uni, double uni and a uni-uni knot for around 20 years. I could tie it blindfolded with a two hands occupied mmm, but that is another story. After transitioning into braid to fluro with lighter lines (20-6), I noticed frequent breakoffs. I mean frequent. I lost a lot of money in lures and a lot of fish. After trying several other knots, I have settled on the alberto (or modified alberto- not sure) for the braid to fluro and most recently the "Swindle Double Shindo Over-The-Creek, Beside-The-Barn Foothole Knot" (not sure of the real name) for fluro to lure. Not a huge fan of the 3 tag ends on the latter knot, but it is very solid. I have learned the FJ knot and it seems as good or better than the Alberto, but it is a pain to tie. My breakoffs contributed to knots has decreased 90% since the switch.

Excellent, thanks! Have had the tag end slip at times especially when hurried, and clinch and trilene knots are a pain and distort the line.

Very crafty, pretty much the only knot I use and this was my only gripe with it. Surprised I never thought to try that

Awesome idea! I do my own version of the Lefty/kreh loop which is basically a uni on top of an overhand knot so will definitely incorporate this weedless option. In it's original form I have had the kreh loop fail once and I'm still a little sore about missing that fish (big barramundi). I can't tie a perfection loop and needed a good loop knot. I've never had a uni knot fail on me before so I put 2 and 2 together 🙂 I fish anywhere from 20lb to 80lb and haven't had issues since.

For connecting mono to braid, is the yucatan or double uni knot better?
