leader knot for braid
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
. 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

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