Super User Jig Man Posted April 10, 2007 Super User Posted April 10, 2007 I am getting tired of hearing the knot go through the guides when I use a fluro leader on my braid. I really don't want to spend all day tying and measuring different knots. Can anyone tell me the smallest knot which will hold the two of them together. Quote
Deuceu72 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I always use a blood knot for line to line ties...........Cut the tag end(there will be 2) VERY short to avoid your problem.....This knot will not slip so cut tag ends closely. ;D Hope that helps. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 10, 2007 Author Super User Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks. I'll give it a try. I have used uni to uni, Ablright and Stren knots and don't really like any of them. I take it that glue isn't necessary. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 10, 2007 Author Super User Posted April 10, 2007 I use a very small swival.Garnet I can't see how that would be quieter passing through the guides on my rods. Quote

The Peixet Knot is smallest and 100% strong. http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&q=%22peixet+knot%22&meta= Quote
jacksize Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 i don't know how long your leader is, but i know exactly what you mean. i use a 3-4 foot 20lb flor. for my leader. the uni to uni has worked flawless for me. as for the knot against the guide, i have learned myself to cast with the 4'+inches hanging off the guide. i'm only 5'-2" but the the time invested in getting use to casting with the leader has paid off for the wanting to use a leader in the first place. trust me its just a matter of getting used to casting with the leader. i'm a short guy and i can do it Quote
