Pena Knot

[steveooo]

I tie it just like the first one, using an overhand knot. I've never had that connection fail, even fishing the light line for tuna. It stays real compact too.

I suppose a uni would be stronger, and that steps 7-9 on the second link would all improve the knot, but again, I'm just going off what has worked for me.

Should I use an overhand knot like this on the flouro... or use a uni knot?:

Do you guys tie this last potion of the knot (the tag end of spectra)?:
