Wondering if im using a decent knot for joining my fluro traces/leaders to mono mainline.

Cheers for that

ok mate forget about wrapping the line around and pulling it up, try this.

dont tie the trace to the main line, do it the other way round mainline to trace, you dont need a double as you have mentioned a false one works well,

now poke the mainline through the folded/ or doubled over trace line, now wrap around the doubled over trace about 6 to 7 times winding up the trace towards the hook, now poke the tag end of the mainline back though the entry hole you started it at, wet it out and nip it up, cut the tag ends short i use this knot for every thing including game fishing and to be fair it awesome, this knot has been used by me personally for many years i used it when i had the albright fail on me on a good fish and played around with a couple of other guys to get what we feel is a great knot
