Line to Line Connections
http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fis...7360-20-1.aspx
The above topic on "What test line and leader to use for grouper fishing" was full of good information, but it left me wondering: What kind of line to leader connections are you guys using for mono to mono (or flurocarbon) and especially braid to mono or flurocarbon leader? I would rather use a knot than a swivel, what do yall think?

RE: Line to Line Connections
Swivel. Especially because of the weight

RE: Line to Line Connections
I use a knot for jigs and a swivel for slip lead.

RE: Line to Line Connections
I don't like swivels most of the time and use a uni to uni and when I do use a swivel I use a uni to swivel

RE: Line to Line Connections
I agree with Uni to Uni. If you use a small braid to a large mono then you may want to double the braid line. Check out Vic Dunaway's book on rigs and tackle for more info.

RE: Line to Line Connections
Uni to Uni for sure works and its what i have used mostly for last 10 years with Power pro to other lines and no problems so far.
But because I gotone of those multi purpose flyfishing tools it made it easier to tie nail knot to nail knot connections (never could get them right freehand). They seem to hold up well so far on 15lb PP to 12 lb floro. |
