I use uni knot for most things however DO NOT use it for braid...I dont know why but it just does not work with braid. I almost gave braid up until someone told me not to use the uni knot with braid and sure enough....

That's the same knot as i use, by far the best knot I've found so far. I've used it all winter to attach my 60lb shock leader to 30lb braid.

I use the albright knot, 30lb braid to 30lb mono leader and its always been the mono that's snapped if I've been snagged.

A was thinking about loading me 535 with 70lb braid and fishing it strait through for the rough stuff

Using 70lb line you can cast without fear of a crack off, personally though i would use one anyway, firstly because casting with braid straight though it felt wrong i think because it doesn't stretch it was loading the rod too early and secondly because it will give you better abrasion resistance if theres any rocks or snags around.
