If tying braid to leader,the purpose is avoiding a swivel. Otherwise you would not be learning these knots.?

Perhaps I do things differently
Yes, (*use-awhateva*) knot for connecting different denier types especially with long leaders that may pass through guides, however (I) will incorporate a swivel pre-snap/BA-clip at the lure to assist in avoiding line twist. Been told over-kill and not needed, but I do what I do with imbecilic confidence

When I hook up braid 2 braid I use uni 2 uni but braid 2 mono/flouro I'll use a blood knot and use ChapStick in stead of spit to keep the friction down.

That's a cool knot. I have been using the alberto for a few years now but not a fan of tying it in the dark. I only use a knot like that when chunking with a top shot. I will fool around with that one, it looks real easy to tie.

Everything is better on the rocks.
