Ive read alot about the "Berkley braid knot" but I have never used it...Ive always used the standard uni knot but ive lost a few lures to larger stripers...im sorta new to the braid game soooooo any advice is great...

Uni by far.

Big fan of the Balloon Knot

Seriously though, Palomar all day.

I double uni knot a fluorocarbon leader to my braid, so the braid never actually is tied to a hook or lure.

Albright Special. I have been using Uni but after trying the Albright Special, it is by far the best knot I have used.

Cal sugested this video which is a grea tutorial. Originally posted in the "Braid to Floro" post a few months ago.

Is this thread drifting into a "braid to leader knot" thread? I thought the OP said no leader. Ok so yeah, that Albright Special is a wonderful knot, knocked the Slim Beauty out of my rotation.

Oh...in that case, its still the albright knot (not the special for leader to braid) first for me. Second would be a toss up between polymar and the improved clinch knots. Sandiego would be the alterntive.
