I think knots are a personal thing..Like people who's pets look like em.
I like to keep things simple.
For a braid to mono connection I use a uni to uni..
For leader line to hardwares I use a palomar..You have to help a palomar to cinch up nice with lb test's greater than 50..I pre tie my leaders and put em in 3x5 bags you can get at most craft stores.I find this gets me back in the water as fast as possible when I have to retie.I think that is the most important thing..
As you can see by this thread there are many different knots to chose from.All the users will swear their choice is the best..
The trick is to get a knot your comfortable with and use it.The more you do so the better you will get at tieing em.The better you get at tieing them,the less likely you will have problems.While no knot is 100 percent,poorly tied knots are likely to be around 20 percent..And that is what you want to eliminate..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
