Does anyone have a line to line knot that will work with Berkley Fire line and Fluorocarbon line? I have tried almost everything.

Blood knot?

http://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/fishing_knots.html

Im still a novice with flyfishing and all the knots associated with it, but the nail knot is the one I was shown to tie them together...

Don't use the nail knot. Sure it is a compact and narrow knot but several times I have had big fish strip the leader off of the fly line, and it was not because the knot was tied incorrectly. The blood knot, Albright, and Uni to Uni have all worked good for me but only use the blood knot when tying with two similar diameters. Good luck.

I don't have much experience with fluorocarbon lines but I use the double surgeon's knot when working with mono. It's just a double overhand knot. Quick and easy to tie and holds quite well.

uni to uni?

Thanks for all the replies. I have tried all the knots you have suggested, all to no avail. I have a copy of Bop McNally's 'Fishermen's Knots, Fshing Rigs and how to use them, but the only one that even comes close to working is the uni to uni knot, but an overhand knot must be tied to the end of the fluorocarbon line to keep it from slipping through. Thanks again.

Tie a bimini twist in the fire line, then tie the floro. on with a no-name knot.It will break before it slips.

Thanks Randy, I'll give that a try.

Have you tried the "Alberto" or modified Albright knot?

I recently came across a most helpful and interesting article about this knot which is not only easy to tie, but excellent for joining different diameter leaders to mono and/or leader-to-braid line connections. Braid is becoming very popular with a lot of anglers, also trophy Bassers who use braid (spectra fibre, such as Tuff Line Plus or Berkley Whiplash) with a fluorocarbon (Seaguar) or mono leader.

Go to www.stripersonline.com/Pages/Articles/article_arby_albertos_knot.shtmlto find out more and to see how to tie this knot step-by-step.

Just for the record, my all-time favourite knot which I use for all other purposes in all my fishing, whether I am using braid, mono or fluorocarbon, is the Uni Knot. This versatile, easy to tie and strong knot can also be tied with a double line for strength that must be experienced to be believed.

Thanks Jacques. So far the Bimini and Uni combination is working, but I'll givethis a try too. Appreciate all the feedback.
