Uni - very, very reliable and easy to tie once you get used to it.

Snell my eel hooks and other live bait hooks, love that knot. It takes a bit getting used to but worth it.

I will tie a clinch when I am lazy, but you really have to tighten it properly ... five turns for line up to 20#, four turns for lines up to 50 # and three turns over 50# is what many of the line manufacturers recommend ... too many turns and it weakens the knot ... but you will know with curly que at the end of the line.

Get one of the knot books and practice to the point you can do it in the dark worth the time ... easy to remedy too when you are not doing it right.
