There is hardly any knots that I trust with Fluoro. But with that being said Fluoro is all that I use other than Braid for a couple techniques. The advantage of Fluoro out weigh the PITA factor of it. One "wins or loses" the battle on the lake with the knot when it comes to Fluorocarbon.
The knot I use to a lure with Fluoro and the knot I use for Braid to Fluoro I don't even know the names of. Certainly not "easy" or common. Anything simple just doesn't work as good imo. I tried just about everthing there is over a couple weekends worth of time goofing around. Tie the knot, hook it up to a fish weight scale and pull till it breaks taking note of the numbers on the scale when it let loose and where the break was at (at the knot or the line itself). Not scientified but enough for me to slowly learn what works for me. Something I think most should do themselves to see what works and what doesn't for them.
The knot I use for braid to fluoro is something like a double albright or a variation of (I couldn't find anything on all the different knot websites that exactly matches what I do). I never became a fan of the double uni at least with Fluoro. I lost too much strength in the knot alone using a double Uni. Anything irt Fluoro is different for me and I am very picky about the knot. Mono one can do almost nothing wrong...
I also couldn't find anything even remotely close to how I tie Fluoro to a lure on any of the knot websites...
I guess in the end a useless post. lol I didn't give out too much info.
