Knot How-To: Fluoro leader to braid with the surgeons knot #PLine
How to tie a leader knot to join a fluorocarbon leader to braided line. Great for adding the invisibility of P-Line fluoro line to the end of super strong and sensitive P-Line braided line. Many anglers use the uni to uni knot for tying fluorocarbon leaders to braided line, but I find the surgeon's knot to be quicker to tie and just as strong.

Knot How-To: Surgeon's Knot - SpiderWire
The Surgeon's Knot is easy to tie and is useful to join two lines of moderately unequal size, e.g., a tippet to a leader. Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling tight. This is especially important on fluorocarbon lines that are easily damaged by heat from friction. Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling tight.
