    Yep, same here. Quick easy and never had one break. Easy with two hands, but can be done with one hand and a foot and still work.

    Blood knot.

    if it’s good enough for Tactical Bassin it’s good enough for me.

    Also a double uni vote here! Simple, fast and I have also never had one break. I hooked a log one time and pulled the boat over to it. I would say it’s strong enough for a fish.

    I used to tie a double uni but arthritis in my fingers makes it impossible now. I've been tying the Lefty Kreh knot, it's so simple and easy. However, I do worry it's not as strong as the other knots mentioned. For those who use it, how well does it hold?

    +1. But once you've learned it it isn't too bad.

    GT knot, was proven the strongest knot by the IGFA, beat all variations of the alberto knot, and the FG knot, way easier to tie

    I think it's better than some of the other fly fishing knots that bass anglers have adapted for braid to a leader (surgeon's knot, j-knot, 3 turn surgeon's, etc.), but an important thing to remember is that it is still a knot designed for mono or fluoro to mono or fluoro. It's not as strong connecting braid to mono or fluoro as other knots designed for that purpose. That said, if it's what you can tie, it's what you can tie! You could certainly do worse!

    I started using the GT knot this year and it has been great. So far it's the best knot I've tried.
