I switch it up and use the uni to uni and a lot of times a blood knot. I tend to tie blood knots faster from tying so many fly fishing leaders.
Double uni for me. Easy for me to tie and works well.

Interestingly true Yobuck, BUT any line to line knot does have a very important issue. Although the percentage of line strength @the knot will NEVER be 100%, depending on the amount of line added, eventually, you will DREAD the famous "abbreviated cast"! This occurs with time/reties etc. when you encounter the "curb" within the spool caused by your "joint" that will shorten your cast. Large(more so) or small knots, even WITH close-cut, trimmed ends WILL cause this! What I do to "cure" this is to put a small piece of tape(electrical's fine) over the knot and voila "No mas"(quoting Roberto Duran{11-25-80})

Thanks for checkin' on me! CURIOSITY takes me there, SUCCESS ushers me back!
Interesting idea. Never thought of that one. Thanks!

I use the albright knot to go from braid to mono.
Never had a problem with uni to uni knot or uni to lure. I moisten the line like for any slip knot and do four turns through the loop.
Works just as well adding a fluorocarbon leader to light braid as with mono to mono connections.
