Leader To Line Knot

Just wondering what knot you guys are using to tie leaders on to your line.
I have been using the Albright knot to tie 30lb fluorocarbon leader to 40-50lb power pro.

back to back uni knot with 3 loops vs the recommended 5 or 6 works excellent for me. started using it when I started Tarpon fishing about 8 or 9 years ago and it works so well for joining lines I use it for all of my knots.

Braid Uni 6 wraps + Fluoro Uni 3 wraps work perfectly fine for me.

I did try the modified Albright knot. It worked good too but it took so much time.

Cmon fishin4life! If you tie it right you can use 6' of leader and retie lures until you have about 2-3' left then tie another. The albright takes half the time the uni to uni does, ill race you! I had to give you hell about it. To each his own! Tight lines.

I bounce between Albright and Blood knots. I've had success with both.

I have used Surgeon Knots for light lines with great success and Modified Albright Knots for bigger lines.

I'm with fishing4life on this one...the uni to uni has never failed me. I tie on about 6-8' the night before a trip..I can retie all day long and never worry about it.
