Oh,

I don't use braids so I don't know what is preferred.
I do know that knots can slip with it. Maybe the double is needed for that. I guess test them well before they go into the water.

I have been having trouble finding a good knot for hybrid line, it is so slippery the tag end goes right through the knot when i cinch it. I test every knot at my work bench and sometimes use a scale to see the break strength.
