Started using the Alberto's knot this year instead of the Albright. Wonderful knot. No slippage what so ever and the tag ends comes out parallel to the main line and leader unlike the uni-uni.

I have been using a triple surgeon's knot to tie braid to fluoro for many years. It is a VERY easy knot to tie in any conditions, very quick and very strong. I've tied them in the passenger's seat of a boat going 50mph in Novemer without a problem, and never have these knots fail.

 

Another good one is the albright, and as Garry pointed out, very thin diameter that goes through the guides well and doesn't collect moss or weeds as badly. It is also a very strong knot, but it is more difficult to tie than a triple surgeon's knot in cold weather with numb fingers.

 

I stopped using the uni to uni knot a long time ago in favour of the triple surgeon's and albright. Better knots IMO for the reason's I mentioned, but the uni to uni is a strong knot if you don't mind the lengthy time it takes or gathering junk on the knot or ticking going through the guides.
