Oko I chose poor wording as usual.
I wasn't trying to be a smart A$$. I learn a lot from you so please don't let me offend you. AND It's fluking snowing AGAIN HERE. AND If I can't COMPLICATE life's simpliest tasks.....I'm just not trying hard enough.

I've been a small town merchant for 40 years... I think that makes me pretty un-offendable. I'm just enjoying a conversation in the back corner of our little bait shop.

OK, here's an idea for braid to Flouro...New...
...TO ME!
Now I use Crazy's as a go too but still use uni to uni at times. Mostly when on water cause I just have a simpler time tying it. I was/am happy and confident with both. But I'm lazy. When I'm going to be using a leader I will start the day by putting on like 5-6 feet of Fluoro. Then throughout the day I clip and change lures and the leader gets smaller and smaller. So the leader knots are frequently going through guides. Here's where the investigating begins. I hate the sound of large knots going through the guides. It at times, if I wasn't cautious when tying, it will drive me to the point of insanity. I'll on the next lure trade, snip the leader down to like 3ft. But still have the tip guide challenge. So I'm always searching for smaller/smoother knots. Now this set up is actually two loop knots but it has me intrigued. http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/v...-jp-71713.aspx Now the likes; easy tie, both knots one knot tie when changinging leader...ease shorter leads...may eliminate guides long leads should be smooth through guides too...small knots Dislikes; I NOW HAVE THREE WEAK POINTS/KNOTS!!?? This alone worries me. Anyway, for those who are still following this thread, what do you think?

Joe, that's an interesting knot, and one I haven't seen before.
One of the reasons I use straight FC for most of my fishing is because I take worrying about main line-leader knots. The Alberto, cinched down very tight (with a Finger Saver) is the smallest knot I've found so far. The Finger Saver does help get it tighter than I could without cutting my finger on the braid. I will give this double loop thing a try this season, but I have my doubts. BB

You know I thought about a Finger Saver. I think that's what they were called.
Little ring like thumb do hickey, right. Came out a year or two ago? Where'd you get yours? Do you use it only tying braid? Is this a tool that you carry along and use whenever tying?
