I've always tied a uni to uni for braid to fluorocarbon leader. I never reel the leader through the guides. -TomT That's what I do.

I've always tied a uni to uni for braid to fluorocarbon leader. I never reel the leader through the guides. -TomT A lot of "expurts" rec 4-5 ft or even more of fluorocarbon leader in clear water. It would be nice if any have stories to relate that substantiates the need for such. Suffix Seige mono seems ok for me, but I prefer a small diameter 50-60 lb braid in heavy timber or pads when bass fishing. Braid doesnt stretch and is more sensitive. If you need a LOT of line then braids small diameter let's you stack on more.

I perplexed him by catching walleye while sitting next to him while running straight braid to a snap, including vermillion red 20lb power pro on the last 2.😁

Nice knot.
As to why mono on braid, I run 30 or 50# braid on most of my reels. It lasts forever and casts well, however, you snag bottom with either and breaking off can be a SOB. Nice to have some lighter mono to pop when needed. Not to mention shock and presentation.

This and when you have a big fish next to the boat to gaff its more forgiving. you have a big fish that decides to head south and you have slack in the braid it will pull the hook.

That's a neat one. If reeling or casting a knot through the guides, this one is a bit big—advantage FG.

I gave it a try, it is definitely very good, but bulky
