spinnoff- what kind of knots do you use to tie a leader to braid

monkey knot

Definitely a double uni when you're mating it with braid.

And a very easy one to tie

i only know 2 knots
the monkey knot
and the n....evermind knot

Definitely uni to uni. Use less wraps on the leader line. I fish with 30# Power Pro a lot and tie a 15-20lb leader on almost always. I wrap the leader 4 times and the braid 6 times. In 5 years of fishing braid, I have had my uni to uni connection fail once.

If going from a small diameter braid (50lb braid w/ 12lb mono diameter) to a much thicker diameter leader (80lb mono/fluoro), I do a double uni with the braid or tie in a loop first using a bimini twist, etc...

This - easy when you get the hang of it and pretty quick knot to tie

Would that be a nail knot? Where you stick a nail or some kher object between the two lines and wrap the smaller line around several times and then pull it back through the middle? Or some complicated shite like that.

I also use the albright t when joining mono to braid. It's a great looking knot once you get it right.

Depends on how I am fishing. Live bait-swivel

Artificial-a form of the double Uni, it's easier to tie than the double uni. Instead of tieing one line to the other I bend them around each other and then tie a basic hook knot.

I use a swivel with finesse and trick worms. Not only the twist issue, but I like the tiny bit of weight out in front. And, to get really weird, I halfway think it makes it look like the worm is after a tiny bait fish.
