The Uni Knot
Popular fishermans knot. Used for connecting hooks, swivels, rings and lures. Its main advantage is that it retains virtually 90% breaking strain. Easy to tie even in the the dark after some practice.

Looks like "animated knots by Grog". An excelent site for learning any knot. To tie a braid to a leader, you just tie a Uni in both lines, looping one through the other. A good knot, but also check out the Albright knot.

That graphic is actually a marinews knot - an australian mariner site.
Andy's World of Knots Another excellent knot site.
