Tying braid to mono

Hey folks,

I am going to be filling an okuma magnetix with backing mono then 20lb braid. Just wondering what knot to use to join them and how much mono and what dia would be best suited for the job.

Cheers
Jonny

I think it might be the albright knot.Have a you look at youtube - you will get all the info there.

hi Dawsey i'v put penn Dynabraid co polymer mono 20lb ( 0.45mm ) on my reels for backing, then topped it up with the braid, knot i use is the albertos, have tryed other knots but i feel this one is one of the best and has not let me down yet, i use the same one for attaching the leader, hope this helps, o and good luck with the okuma magnetix

Dawsey if this is your first casting multi; i would recommend filling it first with mono, when you get the hang of the casting, then you could put the braid on. for if you birdie it with braid on it will be a nightmare to get out, so i would stick to the mono untill you get the feel of the multi; and keep the mag's set at low to start off with. all the best!!!!

Give me and K2 a call or text on the mobile, we will try and help

hi dawsey,have the okuma magnetix sl20,was my first multi,would agree with fishermannum put mono on first, you WILL get birdies when you start,and a braid birdie is a f**king nightmare!!spent an hour getting one out set the mags low,and start slow,get the feel of it first, and dont try to night cast until you feel resonably confident!but when your confident you will find there a brilliant reel!

hi dawsey how did you get on with the reel ??????
