Best Knot... not??

[bamablacksmith]

Ive heard of a lot of people using a mono backing on their reel prior spooling on braid. What knot is best for connecting the mono backing to the braid main line ?

thanks

Do they actually join the lines together or just wrap tape around the mono and spool up with Braid on top of the mono?

I actually do this with my reels that hold a lot of line or when I want to use light line on a reel and don't want to put a whole spool of line on.

The Albright Special is the best I've used for joining braid to mono. I've never had a failure. Details on the Albright Special can be reviewed here: http://bakubaits.com/knots.htm .

-Hope this helps

Works with any size of line, different size lines, or type of lines.

Uni knot is the only way to go.

Technically the best knbot to use would be a bimini twist to double the line and a yucatan knot to attach the two lines. Both knots are going to take some time, but that will be the best way to join two lines and it is how I join braid to Florocarbon. I pre tie at home.

Just thought I would add that the uni knot is easier, not as good as bimini/yucatan, but If I were tying on the boat I would use it to save time.
