All my connections to terminal tackle are five turn Uniknots made with a doubled line.
For my heavier set-ups (bait and metal slingers) I only use braid casting leaders .
For those braid to braid connections I double the running line (20lb or 30lb Sufix) and tie a 5 turn Uniknot over the braid leader (65lb to 100lb) and then another 5 turn uni in the leader backed up tight to the running line knot. Tighten down as much as possible before trimming as close as possible.
