Default flouro knots

What's the best knot for attaching flouro tippet to a mono leader?

Cheers, Dave.

Question Blood-knot...

I'm probably wrong!


But 3 turns of fluoro works versus 5 of copolymer does work for me.

For droppers use tippet rings and Uni knots - fail safe! For straight connections use back to back Uni knots - also fail safe.

I attach a tippet ring to the mono leader using an improved clinch knot. I then attach the fluoro tippet to the tippet ring with a uni knot which I wet well and pull to close slowly.
