Pena Knot - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have always used a small 50# or better rated swivel attached to the spectra with a Uni knot. My leader is attached to the swivel with an improved cinch knot. The swivel is small enough to get through the guides and does not seem to inhibit casting.

This is just the way I have always done it and I have no clue if it is the best way. Is it better to just tie the mono to the Spectra?

If you use a uni knot in the mono it's a Bob Sands knot. With an overhand knot it's a Tony Pena knot.
