Default knots

I am interested in knots and always looking for a better way to make connections. There are a lot of videos and illustrations of knots available but many still require watching someone tie in person or having someone watch you tie. Hope to get some help here.

This seaguar knot is fast and easy for hooking your flurocarbon onto your mono (Seaguar flurocarbon designed it).

What I have found is using one more turn makes this work great for hooking a piece of flurocarbon direct to your spectra - with a caveat - you need to wet the knot before tightening and be gentle and uniform cinching it down. Do a bit at a time and make certain you keep your figure-8 from jumbling up.

I use this on everything up to big tuna.
