Braid To Braid Connection Knot
Is there any effective and secure way to join two braids of the same diameter together (assuming larger dia. braid, 65#). i.e. when using a 150 yard filler spool to top off your existing spool?

I was also recommended the bimini to bimini which sounds like it would retain most of the line strenth, but i still worry about the braid abrading itself

I used it for the first time braid to braid on Saturday... and hooked and landed a yellowtail in 240’, it held.

For Knot to Knot connections, I have always used the alberto knot.
I have used this knot over the last 5-7 years and have never had any issues. I mainly go 65 lb. braid to ~30-40 mono or fluoro. I will say that if I tie it and it looks weird or off. I cut it and retie. |

From videos I've seen in the past the same knot has a lot of different names, the important part is to have the same or more turns on the braid side, if mixing lines.

X2, just make sure that on each loop you go around 6-7 times, wet the braid and pull the ends and then on each line before cutting off the tags. The Uni to Uni is the best. I've used the Alberto the modified Alberto and same know under other names, but it doesn't hold as well and saves no time. If you practice the Uni to Uni knot, it is easy to do even blind folded while in rough seas. You can use it on braid to braid, braid to fluorocarbon, or braid to mono.
