Since this thread has gone south somewhat here's a couple of ld to braid knots that are fast & easy.
PR , Mid knot etc are good knots for big game applications, to complete at home or at the dock,they work well,however offshore and you lose a line re tieing fast is now the issue. Unless other outfits are standing by for immediste use the fastest way to get back in the action for solid spectra is to bimini the braid ( 100% ) then reverse albright or huffnagel ,now commonly called the slim beautry work well & can be tied in seconds. Shot of glue and your in good shape. Bear in mind that your probably only working with 20 / 25 lb on drag with jig / pop outfiyts so even if you have 65lb braid w/under 100% knot strength still plenty between you and you drag setting. 100% knots are great for lines under 50lb and many were designed for this use twhen the angler at times can be on a fish for hours. 65lb and up you can put the boots to em' eliminates the longer fight and less prone to knot failures.
80lb braid and up I like HC, this can be repaired at seas quickly if a brak occurs,simply re splice ,throw in a couple of half hitches, glue go fish!
Tip apply glue when sliding & tighting knot not only lubricates especially Fluoro ld, but now works into entire knot instead of only surface. Couple of minutes your back at it.
Finally the revers albright is the knot for all quick set ups inshore & off ,I've broken this connection many times on snags etc and the knot always seems to come back intact while the sometimes heavier ld has broken.
The simple key to the use of thes knots a I described is too "ALWAYS" double the braid via the bimini ,that's it!
