The knot is the weakest link,so that's where it should break.Fluoro has less knot strength than mono, I like Albright knot best,but the surgeon's knot is super easy to tie, but I don't know how strong it is.Quote:

Try that...
Mono or mono flouro. You use the same number of wraps. When using on braid, You have to add more wraps to the braid side.

I just as a norm use the Uni-knot for attaching lines.

Albright knot has never failed me.
It happened to me yesterday with double uni knot. I normally use either 4lb copolymer Izorline or 6lb FC red label. Yesterday tried to connect FC to 6lb nanofil and 2 broke while pulling tight. I switch to 4lb Izorline and good to go. I think I was in such a hurry and didn’t clinch it slow enough. The heat from sharp braid can kill FC line with ease. I don’t have problem when do it slowly, 5 wraps on each with a lot of wet before pulling it tight.
