I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED USING BRAID AND LOVE IT AS I BELIEVE IT HELPS YOU TO FEEL WHEN Y0U'VE REACHED THE BOTTOM AND THUS LOSE LESS GEAR ESPECIALLY OVER ROCKY GROUND , BUT I FIND THE KNOTS I USE ARE CLUMSY AT BEST SO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANY REALLY FOOLPROOF KNOTS .

The Albright Knot is the best knot for braid to mono

The uni works for me but it seems vitally important to wet it before tightening it. Otherwise it becomes unreliable
