The only braid-to-leader knots I actually use

Been tying braid to leader for two decades now, and I've probably tried every knot out there. Lost my share of fish to bad connections early on - we've all been there, right? These days I stick to just three knots that cover 99% of my fishing situations: 1️⃣ FG Knot - Yeah, it looks intimidating on YouTube but trust me, spend an evening practicing and you'll wonder why you waited so long. Slides through guides beautifully and I've never had one fail. 2️⃣ Alberto Knot - My saltwater go-to for heavier setups. Super reliable but you absolutely must cinch it down hard. Don't baby it. 3️⃣ Double Uni - For lighter freshwater stuff when I need something quick. Not the strongest but gets the job done for panfish and smaller bass. Honestly, master these three and you're set. No need to overcomplicate things with fancy new knots every season. What's your favorite braid connection? #fishing #braidknots #fishingtips
