Great thanks for the help guys. I am just not confident yet that the Braid is as "low vis" as it says it is, and that is why i want a floro leader, just can't afford to keep re-stocking the tackle box.

Yeah I lubricate before tightening. The only difference I can see that I have been doing is I pass the ends up through the same direction but didn't think it would matter. I have alot of issues just getting the knot tied, in alot of cases the tag ends pull through as I am tightening. I will have to try the Uni to Uni knot, it seems fairly simple to tie. I found this link, just to confirm if this is the knot you are referring to. http://www.netknots.com/html/double_uni_knot.html Thanks.

Hello Everyone, I've recently switched all my baitcasters and even my spinning reel to braided line. I am running 30lb braid on my spinning, 30lb braid on one of my baitcasters, and 50lb braid on the other baitcaster, all Spiderwire Stealth. In each case, i've tried tieing on a florocarbon leader (17lb on the baitcasters, 8lb on the spinning). The trouble I am having is i am losing alot of lures (and fish) because the knots seem to be coming untied at the joint between the braid and floro when i set the hook and I don't know why. I am using a bloodknot, or barrel knot. http://killroys.com/...-or-blood-knot/ Anyone have any insight into why this is happening? Any suggestions on better knots to use? Thanks
