When I started using Power Pro I found it difficult to tie the back to back uni's. So I started using a "J" Knot and found it easy to tie in the field. I was skeptical at first, but after a few years of catching fish I am very confident with the knot. Does anyone else use this knot? and if so what is your feedback? Google J Knot and you will see what I'm talking about.
Alberto/modified albright is hard to beat IMO (google for lots of sites with directions). Fairly simple to tie and you can trim the leader tag end to nothing. I would agree on the uni to uni...it's a pain to tie when you're using larger diameter lines. The only time I tie a uni to uni anymore is if I'm joining line and need a quick knot that should never see any pressure (spooling new line on a reel and leaving 20-30yds of old for example).
The absolute best knot I have found for this purpose is the double albright knot. It goes thru the guides easily and is the strongest knot. I will use no other knot!
