what knot are you using?
i do a uni to uni braid to 40 or 50 mono. usually i use 5ft leaders and cast with 5ft trail whenever im not wading deep. the reason that people think this knot is prone to failure is because they are bashing it through 6 guides everycast and that will absolutley destroys the connection., in my opinion.
look up the crazy alberto knot. it works pretty good and should help if your reeling the leader in that far. google it.
