Just wondering what knots y'all are using to tie fluro to your lure of choice? I hear alot about line burn if you tie a knot wrong. Although i haven't broke any off like this, still wondering what is the best y'all have found?

I had been using a Palomar knot. Not too long ago, I started using this one. Haven't used it enough to really know if I like it any better than the palomar or not.

Cork showed me a knot called the "no knot" and its the only knot I use for flouro. I believe its the only knot that doesn't cut into its self to tighten.
Fogy had picture of it on here somewhere. Its easier to see than explain.

I struggled with this for the longest time, even stopped using Flourocarbon all together for a while because I kept breaking knots. I finally starting using a Trilene knot with (3) wraps and solved that problem for me. I'll step up to 4-5 wraps for 8-12 lb line but no more than 3 for 15-20. I can set the hook as hard as I want now with confidence.

A while back I switched to the Eugene Bend Knot after seeing an article by Shaw Grigsby in Bassmaster. 
I have never had this knot fail.  The best part about the knot is it makes a 'pop' when the knot is tied correctly, and if the knot is not tied correctly it immediately fails.
