I’ve used braid to leader off and on for a long time.  I’ve used Albright, Alberto, and uni to uni just to name a few.  Every single one of them has been prone to break at the knot no matter what size leader that I am using.  The only exception to that is the FG.  I’ve been using it for several months.  So far when I have to break off it has been at the bait.

Do any of you guys use the FG?

I use a double uni because it's easy, the FG looks tough to tie. 

I have learned to not over tighten the uni.

I'll try the FG again see what happens

I’ve used the uni to uni but never been satisfied with it.  I’ve been using the FG for 11 months now.  I have it on 6 spinning setups and use it every trip with Ned, shaky and swim baits.  I’ve had no knot failures which isn’t something that I can say about the many other knots that I have used.

I’ve been using the crazy Alberto for several years now.    No knot failures at all.   In fact, it holds when I snag up and have to break something off.
