hey guys, i really did not realize that braid was so visible, so .can you put a mono leader on the end of the braid? or is that not a good idea......

It is actually very common...as is using FC leaders. I use an improved Albright, but you'll find many people like a uni-to-uni connection.

Definetly check out Knot wars on you tube for the Albright knot. Its proven better then any other connection knot and is less dense.

the easiest and least time consuming knot I use to connect braid to floro or mono is the Seaguar Knot.

Been using this for about a year now and have yet to have the knot fail!

Albright/improved albright all the way. I have fished it with a lot of combos. from 8# test mono and 30# spectra in freshwater to 60# flouro to 80# spectra for 100# yellowfin. Goes through the guides well and is easy to tie. I also recommend some spectra glue for protection. Makes the knot a little more durable.
