Re: spiderwire braid
got a recommendation for it from a bass guide.
I cant see a difference myself, but it aint that expensive so why not.

Re: spiderwire braid
How do you Guys attach the Spider Wire to the Mono? Would a small swivel be OK or better with a Knot?
Thanks

Re: spiderwire braid
Try a reverse Albright knot I find it super strong and not to hard to tie, plenty of vids on YouTube and or look up the Knotwars App I'm sure there's a little animation and step by step guide how to tie it. Plus plenty other knots too. Great little app
Just checked it on Knot wars its called a modified Albright if you go looking

Re: spiderwire braid
I normally use about 24" to 30" inches, I try to keep the knot outside the tip ring if I can.
As you suggested you could use a swivel, some guys use a small ring to join the braid to leader but the Albright has yet to let me down.
