Keep your bimini short, tighten the unies in stages (firm up each, slide together firmly, sock down each, then sock 'em together hard...if they slide more under a load they pop). With 10lb fireline (which is under rated) on small rods (where 10lbs of drag isn't an issue), I've done OK just using a carefully tied uni-uni in the single lines. Wouldn't trust one in 6lb (nor with mono-mono) however. Be careful that the first wrap of the bimini.
Also, the unis need to be socked down as tight as you dare if you intend to trim them very close. Otherwise the knot can push a wrap off one end and everything fails.
