What knot for lite braid
Hi I use a Centauri knot for attaching jig heads, swivels etc but I have found that it breaks when I try the knot on 3 lb fluro. Its pretty good on 4lb and does not break that often. Anyway, just woud like to know what knot everyone else uses when using very fine fluro?

Thanks

A 6 turn uni knot keeps me out of trouble.

Put plenty of spit on the knot and tighten it slowly to prevent any friction burn.

Look up San Diego Jam knot for tying to terminal tackle.

Braid to (light) FC?
FG best but can be tricky to tie.
Slim Beauty bit easier to tie, but not as slim or as strong as FG.
Improved allbright - easy to tie, reasonably strong - but leader tag points wrong way - however in really light lines this seems to be less of an issue than in heavier ones.
Surgeons knot is easy to tie and strong, but a bit chunky if you are using microguides.

Uni knot does well for me fishing 3lb rock fc. Just pull it tight nice and slow.

This mightn't be overly helpful but I think 4lb is as light as you should go from braid to leader, any lighter the connection weakens quickly.
Maybe straight through 3lb? but that's only when I use hardbodies.
Cheers matt

I think from his post, he is asking advice on his knot to his jig head, not his braid to leader knot.
