for me its an improved clinch knot for any type line ive never had the knot break off on a fish or snag
i dont know anyone including myself that has tryed a clinch or improved clinch with braid that actually stayed tight. mono sure although i never use it anymore and as for fluoro i wont trust anything other than trilene knot but the improved clinch on braid just does not work ....

I stopped tying this knot on braid because it came undone. A couple of times.
It's all I tied with braid, might as well be welded on.
I always tied that knot with braid too. Until I lost 3 plugs in a row striper fishing. The line was just sliding through the knot.

you are literally the first ive ever heard that has had an improved clinch hold tight with braid lol. i dont believe it unless i see it with my own two eyes haha. not being a dick lol so please dont take offense i just dont know how, you must have incredible luck in which case you should be playing the lottery. every time i ever tryed it with braid 98% of the time it would come undone while cinching it down tight and the other 2% came undone either while casting or while fighting a fish. man is it dissapointing to see a fish swim away with your brand new spook
its actually because of this that i was forced to learn the uni knot and later the palomar knot because they were the only 2 i could get to stay put with braid, i now pretty much only use palomar and double palomar on braid favoring it over the uni simply for ease of tying
Palomar for most things. Trilene knot for certian cranks/topwaters. For floro thought I had a knot (after issues with the Palomar)think it was called a smash knot but it has failed a couple times now after a long run of no issues. Though that could be OE going to pratice it bit before nxt trip out.
I did tried using improved clinch knot. It is not my thing and it is same result as other people saying. They comes loose when fish is on.
In my option, Uni knot is one of easiest knot to do and pretty quickly to fix it for most of people. I am personally prefer snell and trilene knot more than any of knots.
bti111- I loved use crazy alberto knot on braid-wire for striper. Never had any fail on me.
kamilfishes - you must has tons of luck to tied that kind of knot.
sinista - I agree with you improvised snell knot is one of my fastest tied on instead other kind of knots too.

For mono I use a uni knot for most situation only because I can tie it fast and with my eyes closed. Great for when I'm night fishing. I use an improved clinch knot here and there but it takes too much time to tie so I end up going back to the uni.
When I'm fishing dry flies I like tie on a non-slip mono knot to give it more action.
Plenty of good knots out there my advice is to learn to tie one knot well so that you're comfortable with and don't forget to wet your knots.

I'll make a video of how I tie it and upload it to youtube. Literally never had one come undone, seems crazy to me to hear others having the line come un-tied!
I, too, use a standard clinch knot on braid (pro braid, super 8 slick, fireline) without an issue. I use modified albright/alberto for braid to leader. I use orvis knot for tying flies to tippet although it would work as a palomar replacement too, though palomar is probably a tad easier to tie.
