you are opening a heated debate on using what knot. Personally i use the worm, small and fast. Or an albright

Albright with a lock. Hasn't failed me yet. PowerPro - Catch The Power!
I haven't used it on anything over 30# braid, but have heard it works on all of them.

I hear uni to uni is fine on smaller diameter lines (anything less than 100#). I use such a short topshot that the know doesn't go far enough to reach my guides... there for I use a spro power swivel... I know two knots aren't as good as using a single knot, but it's easier to change topshots on the water. On a kayak, your hands are wet and sometimes cold. Complicated knots take too long in those situations.

Tying at home, bimini the spectra then reverse albright. Tying on the yak, uni to uni in a pinch but can fail after a while.

I like the bimini to reverse albright on 65 and up spectra. That is the connection I use for our customers unless they ask specifically for something else.
Light line like 20# mono to 50# or under spectra I use a Uni-Uni.

Doubled spectra however you like (I use a Rose knot) then an albright However I tie the albright by wrapping with the mono not the spectra.
works on 6# to 100+

I just bought a 300 yd spool of JB hollow to sleeve the light stuff. I'm not sure how light it'll go but 15lb Flouro is hold's fast!
I got tired of the knot going through the guides. I have not had a uni-uni fail but I do/did put glue on them. I like a really short topshot.
