Albright knot with a dab of zap. Make sure you put enough braid on or you'll wind up like I did...  |

I use a uni to uni and never had a problem. even jigging tuna, deepwater Cod jigging, and deepwater wreck fishing. And its easy to tie.

Uni has my vote
Super easy to tie.
Be sure to- use 5-6 wraps in each Uni, wet them, snug each one completely before pulling them together.
If it looks bad it's no good. Should be nice and neat and even looking.
Good luck,
W

If the braid and mono are about the same diameter , use a blood knot. If they are different diameter , use an albright or uni to uni.

i used to use uni-uni but switched to albright. it is much easier and i seem to get it ;right' all the time, where uni-uni was prone to me screwing up.
