Always used either a modified clinch or a version of the uni-knot that I have come up with that I find to be VERY strong. Check it out below (and sorry for the horrible graphic, but idk how else to show it). I also use a tripple fishermans knot for joining line to line.

Give it a try, you might like it. I find it more reliable than the clinch or modified clinch:

More or less, I only fish FW anymore. Braided line - palomar all day long. Mono - improved clinch. Landed FIVE 12-17 ounce bluegills last night. Yum Yum Yum.

I fish for large and smallmouth bass and I only fish with artificial lures. My knots that I use are the improved clinch knot, palomar and the FG knot. kno4te kno4te brought up the FG knot and it's thee best for tying on a flourocarbon leader to braid. The FG knot is such a slender knot it's like it's not there. It's cool to see another member that knows about the FG knot. I also have a really cool App on my phone that shows how to tie dozens of knots.

I salt water fish. So I use the fg knot when I’m targeting the tarpon or grouper. I find it a better knot compared to UNI.
