Mono/Floro to braid knots

Have done that in an emergency, when I had a fish on and fouled up my line.  Double surgeons loop and cut the loop off, and back in business.  Of course, I respooled when I got home, but landed that fish!

Not as in a loop to loop connection but by tying two lines together w an overhand, making the dropper with that knot in the loop portion, then cutting the loop. Here is my crude diagram.

OK I do do shrimp flies by making a large dropper loop, and cutting one side, to then tie on a fly to the end of that tag, but still connect my weight at the bottom.

I love that fast thinking.  Geeturdun!

Love da crudigram!  Does it matter which line loop root to cut?  Could one make the side that is not cut a little more secure?

Update: tried this at the desk and its not laying down correctly. The braid will bunch up and so it doesn't look very neat like a normal dropper knot looks. I think uni-uni or albright on the water. or double surgeons loop in a pinch lol.

Honestly I think the Alberto knot is by far the easiest to tie OTW and its very strong. I have caught striper up to 25lbs on the knot without problem, and backlashed my reel with a 10oz lure and the knot was totally fine. If you're going to tie a knot at home then the FG is probably the way to go.

I also use the alberto knot.  I think it is the easiest to tie as well.  All good info here. Thanks.
