[QUOTE="jkbirocz, post: 157917, member: 107"] I also tie a back to back uni knot. I have had issues with blood knots pulling free when tying braid to mono/flouro. You can experiment with the number of loops you do with each line. I usually go with 5 on each side. When I am using lighter braided line, like 10lb, I do two more loops of the braid than I do with the mono. I have found that the thinner braid can cut the leader line, and that the extra wraps helps with this, probably distributes the load better, but who knows. I always do an odd number of loops, I heard somewhere that even numbers are bad mojo...and I just stuck with that, don't ask me why. Another really good not is the Alberto knot, but that thing can be a pain to tie and if you make a small mistake you are going to pop the leader. [/QUOTE]
