I usually just tie the braid right onto the fluro using a sebile knot/FG knot without the loop. Once you understand how it works, it's easy to tie but takes a little time to tie. Once you get a hand on it, you'll go much faster.

Why not just go straight alberto, yucatan or uni from braid to leader? Something you're trying to do special?
