65# braid to 50 fluoro - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

John Collins knot. Easy and quick to tie and seems to hold up very well. It's small and goes through the guides easier than some of the other knots that are more bulky.

Double uni. Do it with all my braid to flouro connections

albright will work fine for 50lb just come down on the amount of turns. 6 or 7 should be good.

I've been using the Alberto knot ( aka RP knot, aka modified Albright knot, aka John Collins knot) for years. I rub chapstick on the braid before tying to make it cinch a lot easier.

I recently started using the FG knot for my heavier 80-100 lb leaders for popper fishing. Works great on lighter line too. The FG knot has been tested to be a stronger knot. Just make sure your wraps are tight and it won't fail.

THE JC knot is the best and smallest knot out there. No glasses required to tie it..
