Here is an excellent video tutorial on connection your fluorocarbon to your hollow braid without using a direct knot. The connection is excellent for lighter lines (60# and under).
This connection is very small and smooth. It will pass throught the guides with ease and even through the level wind on smaller bass reels.
Tools needed:65# Hollow braid, Leader material, 30# solid spectra, 60# rigging needle, Top Shot clamp (not needed but much easier to do), spectra adhesive and a loop puller (27# single strand wire works well for this).
Thanks to our friends at Blackwater International for providing this great video tutorial.
Enjoy the video!
