    VC this is that braid to mono knot bro. The blue is the braid, the brown the mono. I double the braid. This is more than enough for light gear such as softbaiting and is far quicker than an FG. I also use this on my kingi rig if im desperate to get in the water and don't have time to tie a PR, just don't wind it through the guides to much

    I will remember that for if I need it in a hurry.
    Havent yet tho even with lots of cuda,keep line tight and cut back any rubbed up bits.

    I do my FGs at home on the couch and run 1.5-2 times rod length of leader so finger is on mono not braid for casting so the knot is wound threw the guides every cast/drop.

    On my heaveyer set up 80pbraid/100p leader it has done about 20 fishing trips and is now only just a rod length long and I was looking last trip and thinking its starting to fluff up I should replace it.....will do that now.

    Old worn knot.


    And new with a few meters of braid discarded.



    Its quite a thick (cheap) braid on this rig.....the knot lays on much neater when there is more difference in sizes of line.

    I'm going to give that a go, I like the idea of it not catching in the eyes, if I lose a big fish because of it I know who to blame!

    It is the strongest braid to mono knot bar none according to the internet so if tied properly you should be good

    Just make sure you tension it hard before trimming and the last couple of half hitches.

    I have found the uni to uni (braid doubled) is great in lighter line weights and use a wind on if going big.
    I love the uni knot. You can do just about anything with it.

    Braid does my bloody head in....I love fishing with it but I fucken hate trieing to tie knots in it and the lighter it is the worse it is...and doubling it up increases frustration by a factor of 4 squaredx3.142 divided by D.

    At least with the FG all you have to do is hold the braid firm and twist the mono around it
