Braid to Mono

[MickS]

Firstly just want to congratulate those who put this web site together, helping me heaps with hints, tips and information.Fantastic site.

Question: What is the best knot to tie braid to a mono leader? I have always done a double uni knot, probably because it's easy. Last time I was in Weipa the guides there did a knot where they would twist the braid around and around before attaching to the mono. They reckon it was alot stronger.Can't remember the name.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers

I use a bimini twist then an albright to connect the mono

bimini twist and albright to the mono. i can't fault it, and i fish evil drag settings in many situations. It can't have even the slightest weakness in line connections, to satisfy my style. many other knots will equate the same results, but these 2 mentioned knots are very simple and easy to learn.

Whats the main drawback of a swivel?
Thats what I always do but there must be a negative.

a swivel can adversly affect the action of the lure

it can also be a weak point in the whle equation...due to burrs etc on the metal.

uni to uni is stronger than a bimini in fireline to flourocarbon and easier to tie.while you are still twisting i will be fishing
