Why does my broad keep breaking at the leader knot?

In all seriousness, learn to tie the FG and ditch the rovex.

Isn't the braid which is braking sunline?

Hi
30lb rovex fluorocarbon leader.

Yeah, but still, rovex is not good leader.

just put the rod in a rod holder and step on the braid with a little tension and away you go easy as at home or in the boat

I don't do the half hitches over the braided line. Only over the leader and braid. Is there a reason why you do it like this?

[ducky]

Creates a small ramp so the leader end does not catch. But most importantly it just locks off the braid tag end so it doesn't unravel and ruin the knot.

and it's the right way to tie it

I've never tied it with the half hitches along the braid and i've never had one come lose. I've noticed only in the newer fg knot videos guys doing it. It was never like that when i started using it years back.

You mean when you're reeling in? I get what you mean, It makes sense.
