It is a very good knot that, as some have said, is guide friendly. It just can't be tied while blindfolded like the uni to uniTK wrote: Same here, although the slim beauty looks good. I will give that a shot and see how it goes (if I ever get to fish again).

Re: Leader attaching knot
I use the Albright for pp to Fluoro. I tried the Slim Beauty and found it difficult when bouncing around on the waves, and at night. Uni-uni is also hard to tie under same conditions.

Triple surgeon, easy to tie and stronger than uni to uni
Re: Leader attaching knot
I see a challenge brewing. Uni uni vs. surgeon surgeon. some half assed engineer figure out the specifics.

Re: Leader attaching knot
I use a swivel. Just joking.....I dont even know what I tie something someone taught me ten years ago and I have never had it fail using mono leader to braided line. Think it is a Uni to Uni....but those others just look too complicated for me.
Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

Re: Leader attaching knot
Uni - Uni here. I also double the braid with a Bimini. I reel it thru the guides on every cast - never had it fail.

Re: Leader attaching knot
I'm using 15lb Flouro leader to 10lb SpiderWire XXX co-polymer with the Uni. I'm not a great lover of Braid, but that's a whole different thread right thar!

Re: Leader attaching knot
Triple Surgeons Knot. Quick and effective. Otherwise it's Uni/Uni.
I've been wanting to try the Slim Beauty but it sure looks confusing. Perhaps if I saw someone do it it might make it easier to remember.
