I use uni to uni. It has only failed me once... it was my fault and a lesson learned. After an epic night of slobs I failed to change the knot and leader the second night. Bad move! Night 2 was a one fish night and when the fish exploded 20 feet away, it stayed on the surface and started rolling on the line. That old knot was the weakest link and failed before the 4#'s of drag could release. The evidence I held in my hand showed that the 30# braid cut through the 25# mono. I don't cast braid anymore (not because of this) but I still use and trust this knot, but I now retie it MUCH more often with lighter leaders.

That fish haunts me to this day.
