    Would depend on what you are tying it to for which knot to use. But the F G Knot is a fairly common one to use

    Spalli I have found the uni the most reliable, 4 turns on the leader and 6 n the braid but most important is not to pull tight together, the secret is to tie the leader to braid with a 4 turn uni and then pull tight , then tie a 6 turn uni of braid onto leader and tighten, then pull the 2 tightened knots together and trim.

    Spalli, whichever knot you use the braid should have double the twists/turns of mono line, there would be some knots where this can't apply but this will stop the slippage that braid can experience.

    Thanks guys, appreciate info. Understanding braid needs more attention than mono is the key!

    I'd try the centauri knot too.
    Easy to tie and very strong. I use it for hooks and line joins braid to braid and braid to nylon.
