Here's my situation, I run a couple of lightweight spinning setups for catching schoolies from the skiff, one with 6# fireline and one with 10# fireline. I usally tie all of my setups with a bimini and then use an albright to attach my leader. With these lightweight setups I was having problems with wind knots, especially from the double line of the bimini. So I've been using a uni-to-uni, doubling the fireline, to attach leaders of 20# fluoro, but this knot gets real beat up going through the guides and the other night I had both setups fail on me with fish on. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can use here? I thought about using an albright but wasn't sure if I could cinch it up correctly with just a single strand of lightweight fireline to pull on.
