leader question

figure I'd ask in this forum seeing as how I'm throwin' plugs....

braided to mono leader.... what kind of knot ya using?

I'm not real good with my knots so I'd like something thats SUPER easy.....

I did a search, but would like fresh ideas....

Thanks

I tie a palomar knot from my braid to a snap, then use a barrel swivel tied to 40 lb Ande with a clinch knot about 18" long then a clinch knot to another snap. That is how I do it but you can eliminate the first snap and tie the braid right to the barrels swivel if you want. I do it my way because it is easy to change up leaders and I tie a bunch before I go fishing.
A palomar knot is very simple.
