So what knot does everyone use to tie leaders? I'm going to try a copolymer leader on my braid next time out.

Uni knot
Been using it for years. 100% confidence once you master it.

Uni is good as well but what I use fishing fresh and salt water, fishing light weight or heavy weight, works just as good ... is the "Albright Knot".

Salty hit it right on the money, the albright knot. I use it all the time for braid to fluro.

Alright, just tied my first double UNI and I am impressed! That is what I will be going with next time out.

I tried the albright knot and it it broke, Disclaimer: I may or may not have tied it correctly. I am going to go uni to uni and see how that works.

ive had good luck with the Nail Knot when ive had to join 2 lines together. Kind of a pain though, gotta carry a small straw to tie the knot.

I've used Albright knot for many years most all my spinning reels have 20 lb powerpro braid with some sort of liter depending what and how I'm fishing. Been great for me. Line has broken before the knot has.

They are all good I'm sure once you have tied them 1000 times. The best knot is the one you get comfortable using.

Uni to uni, that is what powerpro recommends on their package. I have been using the uni for close to 30 years.

If you have an iphone, Pro-Knot has a cool app for rope and fishing knots.

Yeah I have looked at that one before.

I guess I'm late to the party here but if it hasn't been suggested yet, I really like the uni to uni knot when I do my connections from a mono backing to braid. I actually will use the same knot when going from braid to a flourocarbon leader. I've hooked some drag pulling fish with that setup and never had an issue.

What all are you throwing on that setup? I have done the double albright and uni to uni with good results but for flukes on or off jigheads I like a size 14 swivel instead of knot connection.

Soft plastics, Texas rig or shaky. Anything like that where the fish can take a moment to look at the bait.

I use the uni for almost everything when tying line to line, line to lure or line to reel. No issues. Great knot, easy to tie.

Same here. Only time I tie something different is drop shotting.
