I have also had quality control problems with the FG knot, but I'm blind in one eye and my close in depth perception not what it was, so the problem may be on my end.
One of the local TV show hosts, Capt. Charlie Thomason, recommended using a four turn uni-knot on both the braid and the leader. It makes a very slim knot and he claims it won't slip. I think he's using 30lb braid to 20lb leader.
Next time out, I'm going to give it a try, but I am using 10lb braid to 10lb leader and 14lb braid to 14lb leader so my results may vary.
