I would guess that it would be a double-line uni knot, but I don't use it.

A lot of guys people use an fg knot but I find them a bit difficult to tie. A double uni knot is very easy and a good connection for braid to either mono or fluro leader, just remember to lubricate before cinching it up as well as any other knot.

Alberto knot strong and fits through your guides way better than double uni.

I have had great success with the uni to uni knot.

I have not tried the Alberto, but may.

FG knot is my favorite. Little tricky to tie.
When on the water the Alberto knot is my go to

The Yucatan knot is the easiest and smallest. BUT, I've seen 3 different You tube illustrations.
1 double wrap the mono around the braid.
2 double wrap the braid around the mono.
3 double wrap both the braid around the mono and mono around the braid.

Not sure which is the official knot, but I use #1, because I got #2 to fail, and #3 is a bit larger.
Anybody else use it?

Alberto is my go to as with my sausage fingers I find it the easiest for me and it holds well.

I like the GT knot. It is easier then the double uni knot and is just as strong.

If surf fishing, depends on weight test of braided line being used. If braid is 25# or less, a 40/50 shock leader is used and the shock and the braid are connected with an Albright knot. If your braid is heavier than 25#, your cast won’t be as far but a shock leader won’t be needed. You’ll be able to attach the heavier braid to the mono leader. I use a uni knot to join these two.
