flourocarbon to braided

[patrickray]

I want to tie a flourocarbon leader to my braided line. Can anyone point to a link that shows what knot to use and how to tie it? Thanks

Patrick

I usually use a uni to uni knot. http://www.animatedknots.com/indexfishing.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com

The uni to uni is a great knot.
Here is one I find myself using almost exclusively now. Easy to tie Nice and compact and strong as all get out. I only do two twist when I tie it,

Thanks for the info. Looks easy. I have another question. Im using 20lb braided. Should I use the same test of flourocarbon?

You don't have to. With that know you can join any sizes.

I'm not so sure that direct connection from main line to leader should be a knot.
Something tells me that this would be a very good place for a swivel.

That was my thought. In fact, did it. But try casting your lure with a 3' leader. Dont work very good.

That's right, I just use swivel at the end of the FC leader
