It's all I use for joining Braid to Flouro

How does that work?

I guess it's technically the "Double" uni-knot I use. It seems very strong and I have yet to have one come undone. I saw it recommended a bunch when I was researching braid for the first time. I find it does snag sometimes on the eyes though if my leader is a bit long.

What knot do you use? I wouldn't mind losing that occasional snag on the eyes.

+1 I use a uni to uni for all my line to line connections. Works great, never tried it as a hook knot though, I like a good old Palomar or San Diego jam.

I have lost all faith in the double uni. I have every one I tied slip. (Testing with a weight in my house)

I would highly recommend learning to tie the Tony Pena. Just a couple practice sessions and now I feel very confident with my knots. The connection is very strong, hasn't slipped in testing or in actual use, and the tag end faces towards the reel for great passage through the guides.

Uni to uni works great, I use it for all braid/mono connections as well. Just make sure you slowly pull the knots together and watch that the loops dont overlap. Never had it break if tied correctly.

I was always told, and have personally experienced that the line will break before the Uniknot fails. I use it a lot too, mostly for when I'm tossing rubbers.

Someone showed me the Albright knot once and that thing just did not cut the butter. So I hooked up with Capt. James Nelson, a guide here in San Diego, and he showed me the uni-uni for joining braid to mono or carbon. I personally love the Double Uni better, it's strong, and easy to tie.
