just wonderin if anyone has some good links to knots used for tying braided line like tuff line or fireline with your mainline? thanx in advance.

Palomar knot.

There are literally dozens and they all have one thing in common-overcomplicated.
Use what knot you're used to and just do it with a doubled line.

Palomar knot.

I use blood knot http://www.marinews.com/fishing/Knots%20&%20Rigging/fk_bloodk.htm for that. Just make sure you leave at least 1 mm on the cut of braided line and use lighter to carefully melt it and round it right away with your fingers while it's still melted. This will prevent slippage of the braided line through the knot.

Here is the list of other usefull knots http://www.marinews.com/fishing/fk_main.htm. As it was said earlier, Palomar is the best for tying braided line to you terminal tackle.

I use the KISS principle... improved clinch knot. I just double up the line then tie the same ol' knot I use with mono. I have never had a problem with it.

I use a blood knot and I  slightly tighten the knot until it is snug (pull it about half way) then I wet the braided line with saliva.  This will make a tighter knot and prevent it from loosening up when it gets wet. I always wet my knots when I use Tuff Line.
