2) Best Knot For Braid To Mono Connections When Fishing Heavy Drag

The Simplified FG Knot 

The Simplified FG Knot has been gaining popularity in the angling community for the past few years.  It is extremely useful for anglers fishing with extreme drag and has been utilized a lot in the jigging and popping community.  If you are fishing heavy drag on light reels for big fish and choosing not to use hollow core braid, this is a good knot for you to learn.

Tip From Adrian Grey of the IGFA -  For 30Lb test or lighter braid he suggests using more raps for added strength.
