Just like TJones said this knot is great and only really needs 5 or 6 wraps in each direction. What ever name you use for it, it is the easiest to tie and the strongest I have found. It's the only knot I use in all the braid to mono or fluorocarbon connections.

I do not usually fish braid, but when I do or others ask me to tie their braid to mono connection this is the only knot I use. Quick, easy and almost mako proof.

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried it, and I love it. So much cleaner than the Uni to Uni. I've been having problems with the Uni to Uni causing backlashes as the knot went through the guides. I think this knot just fixed that problem.
