Knots

[pescados 1]

Have not used braid before but thought I might give it a try.So what would be the best knot to tie braid to mono ??Thanks.

[vb4me 1]

Hey Pescados.I have been using a knot called the slim beauty which seems to run through the guides quite well I think the majority use a double uni to uni knot though.See if you can get your hands on geoff wilsons book of fishing knots and rigs it is brilliant.Cheers VB4me

Double Uni (minimum 6 turns in the mono, 8 in the braid)Albrights (good for joining lines of different diameters)

I also use the slim beauty for lighter line, ten pound braid or less, and for heavier line I tie a bimini and use an albright to attach my leader.

[Guest pin point]

i use i think its called a "stren" knot very easy to learn and master

good site southie just had a look

[Guest yogi]

Modified Albright for the lighter stuff and a Bimini Twist to a rolling GT for my heavier stuffMike

[thefunkychicken 0]

Just like a few others, I go for an Albright on the lighter gear and a Bimini Twist to a double Uni for the heavier stuff.Albright can be a bit fiddly to start off with but the Bimini is one the easiest knots around.Cheers. Tight lines/knots.

animatedknots for sure grog has helped me many a time

i only know 2 knots.... thats enough... i like to keep it simple, and be able to tie them at speed in the dark if need be. a double or locked bloodknot,which i use to tie swivel on, and whatever its called to tie the hooks to my trace.i like to keep it simple.

[Dubs The Tackle Man 0]

nev the good old locked blood knot isnt that flash on the braid tends to slip through, give it a burn at home and you'll see for yourself tie it to a swivel hook the swivel onto something a pull, she'll slip no doubt.The uni knot is pretty much all you need for braid quick and easy .

yeah thats the knot i use for my hooks....i try not to read a lot into knots.... what i uses works, and is easy... enough said. tying them at night, using a headlight, in howling wind, soon teachs the easy and fast way to do them.i can tie 2 hooks and a swivel in around 30 seconds, add bait and tie to main line in around a minute if the bait is already cut.good enough for me,
