Braid To Braid Connection Knot

[FullFlavorPike]

if you can tie a bimini twist, a loop to loop connection is a good bet for joining braid to braid

I always use double uni on braid-braid or braid-lighter fluoro. I usually only use the alberto with braid-40# or bigger because a double-uni knot just gets way too bulky at that point

If hollow core already on spool, just splice together using a daho needle, or buy hollow core and splice onto existing solid braid. One of the advantages of hollow core braid.

I didn't know you could do it with braid that small....

Guy who runs my spearfishing shop just showed me how to do it with the dyneema that holds the slip tip on my polespear. I was incredulous that it would chinese finger trap and hold quite so well, but it's kind of amazing.

Thanks for the replies, I have reached the conclusions that bimini to bimini is the best connection knot for strength retention, and will be the most low profile through the guides.

If i decide to use the line I have rather than a complete respool, this will be the method I use.

You've made the right call. I was about to second the other guy who suggested it.
