I used the uni and the albright this year. no problems with the mono/fire except it is so light it can be hard keeping things organized when drawing it in.
I double the braid using an eight wrap surgeons loop. This is a very easy knot, nothing more than an over-hand knot with the tail part going through the loop six or eight times. I like the double line to be about eight inches long. Then I tie an albright. This is a great knot to know, but does take a little "feel." The key lies in how the knot is sinched down. I do about twelve turns of the braid around the mono. I use it to attached my briad to my mono leaders as well. Uni to uni is good too and easier to learn, but I think a bit more bulky. A cold wet night, when the fish are on the feed--go with the uni.
But the albright is well worth learning. My favorite line to line connection.
Blood w/super glue. Something weird happened to me one night in mid November when it was real cold. The line started spinning on my spool like I had no backing?? I switched up and threw the reel bax in me car. The next day it was working like a charm. I figured it was the cold, but I'm stupid.
Which knot?
