leader knot for braid

Sat May 09, 2009 10:00 am

Hi I'm going to try using braid on a fixed spool reel, just for the fun of it really to see the difference in bite sensitivity and also hoping it might cut through weed a little better :idea: . At present I use the double uni knot to join my tappered shock leader to the mainline, is this suitable for braid, and any paticular knot best suited to tie on the end snap swivel :?:
Any help appreciated

No need for tapered line with this knot

4 or 5 goes and you'll be doing it in the dark.

That's an excellent knot, well worth having in your armoury.
