What knots does everyone use to join a braid base line to a mono topshot? Or even braid to leader if you run leaders long enough to spool.

Take a look at the Royal Polaris knot, just google it if you've never seen it.

Just Googled this knot.  Seems like another good knot for braid to mono. Thanks Dale.

FG knots are super strong, elegant and can be casted through your guides!

I've been using the FG knot for a few years now and like it. Wouldn't want to tie it on the water though.

Cheers,
Brad

If I pre tie my leaders then I use the strongest and smallest knot, the FG.  Sometimes I tie the FG on the water but usually the Alberto.
"Pedo Viejo" is what Antonio called me.
