I use power pro and have started using Alberto' Knot to attach mono to braid. Do a search for Alberto's knot. There was a recent thread in the ask Alberto column, with pics.
Willie,
A double uni does a nice job. Check knot recommendations for the braid you purchased. A fresh knot made each time out can limit problems, unless you are talking about your backing connection.
Good Luck,
Steve
I tried the Alberto knot for the first time last night to put fresh braid on mono backing on one of my reels. Lo and behold, it worked just fine. Quick and easy. Thanks Happycamper for the diagram.
I use the Palomar knot to tie braid to swivels, snaps etc. Hasn't failed once.
Hello Noreasters thanks again for the great ansers. to my questions. I am going with the double uni knot. I tied I made the drag real tight & I tested it I think it should hold. IM going back out tonigjt for the rel test! this time Im bringing my son!
Bucktail,
The barrel swivel is only needed to reduce/stop line twist when using a spinning reel. A double uni is all you need for a conventional, because a conventional reel doesn't develop line twist. Also that swivel has a larger profile that will catch weed.
Good Luck,
Steve
