Good advice.  If you're fishing reasonably open water braid is abrasion resistant enough.  And I sincerely believe it doesn't spook fish especially in lower tests.  I like 24 lb. Gliss.  It's a lot thinner than it's rating would indicate. (closer to 6 lb. Sufix 832).  I've found the Fishin' Fool  knot to be perfect.  It's easily found online.   Good Luck.

I used that on my gliss but then I tried doubling the line over about a foot then tied the fish-n-fool and got 4 more pounds of knot strength. The same doubling over of the line with the FnF on nanofil helps greatly as well.

Gliss is very small diameter line with equally low knot strength of less than 50%!

You're tying your lure straight onto Gliss?

double uniknot for tiring to a leader but I'll tie an improved clinch knot if tying straight to bait. I never had a problem tying direct
