Which knot to use?

[Fisherjoe]

I want to tie a mono/fluoro leader to braided line. Both lines will be approx 14#-17# diameter. This will be used for casting swimbaits to stripes and hybrids. Which knots work best? Thanks.

Go to www.animatedknots.com and take your pick. Good website.

Elnut is right, Dave Stewart posted about this site last year sometime, I checked it out and it's awesome. It goes slow so a dummy like me can follow along.

Thanks for posting that sight, it is great. It not only helps me with a couple of new knots, but I am going to use it to help teach my 11-year-old son (I am tired of having to stop fishing to tie something on for him LOL).

Wow, I thought I had found a good fish knot site, but that one leaves it in the dust! Actually, there is still one thing I like about this site:
http://www.netknots.com/html/fishing_knots.html
It has the same knots as the other site, but what might come in handy is you can print out the diagrams and instructions and take them with ya, in case you're out on a lake and need to refer back.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to try a J-knot. It was recommended on several saltwater sites I found. I believe it is a modification of either the Uni-knot or Surgeon's knot.
