A couple things.

Like Niko said.....do you really want a knot. This time of year is the time to start fresh. Now during the season if you have a clusterflock and have to tie a knot a Uni to Uni is fine, that is what I do. Especially on a ground fishing charter and the current acts up and no one a paying attention to the lines. you have to cut a couple lines and retie to get the guys fishing again with the braid.

Your not starting from the mt spool with braid are you? On a bigger reel, thinking my conventionals put some dacron backing and top it with a 2+ hundred yards of braid. You'd go broke starting with braid, very unnecessary.

You can also put some mono on as backing too but I prefer dacron. Dacron is old school but lasts season after season.

Knot wise I have pretty much summed up all my fishing to Uni, Uni to Uni, Palomar 98% of the time.
