which is the best knot to use to join powerpro to a floracarbon leader?
i have been using a albright but i guess i am not tying it correctly because after a while the knot will come untied.

Yeah, that's an all time favorite but it won't work on braid. I may go to a double uni as soon as I practice it but meanwhile the J knot really works & it's easy. It's just a surgeon with a few extra wraps:

I used to use a blood knot. It works fine but is hard to do correctly. Now i use a double uni-knot. It is easier to make and it has never slipped .

same here, make sure u go 3 wrap arounds and it will stay, never ever had a problem w/ it....
