What knot do folks use for splicing braid to braid - of the same or approximately the same diameter? I can't seem to find much on this, with one site suggesting a reverse albright, which I always thought of as a knot for mono to braid. Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

agree with Scott 100%

double Uni or uni to uni as it is sometimes called.

I agree with the Uni to Uni!
But don't tell Scott I'm agreeing with him yet again!

uni to uni will certainly do the job, but a loop to loop connection is another option.

bimini to bimini or spider hitch to spider hitch

Thanks guys,
Now that you've helped me out, we can all go back to disagreeing with one another!

Double uni will work well but a double, double uni is even better.
Double the braided line prior to tieing each uni, draws up well and is less likely to cut into itself with the increased double diameter.
Try it you'll like it.

Assuming you talking about solid (not hollow) braid, I like the loop to loops, passed through the loop several times to "spread the load" You can use double bimini twists, double spyder hitches or bimini/spyder combos.

a blood knot seems to always work for me...
