For power pro I use a 7 up 6 down improved Albright. Works perfectly with most 6lb leader with the power pro.

Don't know abotu Power Pro but i use 4lb Fireline with a Bimini Twist and a Slim Beauty. Caught some good fish with these using the same leader(and knot) again and again and didnt lose any fish due to leader knot failing.

I'm really digging the Cane-it knot, I used to do Albrights, but had to change due to it not tying when using certain braids like Super PE. Ever since, haven't looked back.

It also good casting when tied properly.

I use 5lb Power pro attached to fc of between 4lbs and 10lbs using a surgeons knot x 4 turns. Find that it works well with good knot strength and is easy to tie. Good luck with choice. Regards. HBt.

I'm another Kaneit fan. It's quite similiar to the slim beauty in many respects, but I think it's slightly easier and quicker to tie. It's never let me down.
