Uni to Uni knot. Though check it often....I still have nightmares about a fish I broke off at the Classic last fall.....

Here's a link to see how its done...

not trying to be rude.... check out the videos on you tube...easier then just giving you the name of a knot

Thanks, both are great links.

if you're splicing line of two different diameters use the albright knot. if they are the same, go with the uni-to-uni
i'm yet to have either fail

The Alberto Knot is supposed to be very strong and very easy to tie.

pikeman,

If you're tying up your own leaders I would suggest the Slim Beauty knot. This is a great knot for joining a bite tippet/leader to your line.

I think most of the major line to line connection knots have been cover already, my favour for ease of use is the surgeons however if I have time and tying leaders the night before I will go with the uni to uni. Also, consider the type of lure you are using. If you are using a spinner, spoon, or any vertical jig or tube presentation you might as well just go with a swivel to prevent line twist.

Mahin knot rules

the darker line would be the fluro

Ditto. When the fly rod is out I always use the surgeons for attaching tippet to leader.

With fluro leaders, I always use a uni-knot and lots of spit when attaching to the to the business end. With mono or braid, I use a palomar.

Thanks for all the great info guys. I will surely try the uni knot it seems to be most popular.

Thanks
