Phil

looking good knot there and that won't seem to break. :toast:

But my guide tip size is only 6 and it won't go through smooth.

My general set up is 50# braid (400 yard) + 100ft 40# Momoi diamond mono + 2ft 80# shock leader.
Braid + 40LB mono = uni2uni with my provision (but I am liking PR knot. My provision is something between uni2uni and PR knot...lol)
40LB momoi + 2ft 80# = uni2uni

The idea is I want to break off 40LB mono when I caught bottom...So I don't lose braid..
But sometimes braid breaks off... I may have to downgrade mono to 30 LB...
And thick uni2uni doesn't need to come thru guide.

The issue has nothing to do with breaking. I never had a uni uni break.

It's just huge when using 80lb mono.

On the usual calstar and gator rods it doesn't matter but on a slow pitch jigging rod which is what blue has it gets stuck in the guides

I don't think any of u r using slow pitch light jigging rods unless I'm wrong.

That said I think ur crazy blue with braid to mono to flouro just asking for trouble too much tackle. Jigging is designed to pis away money

I fish for mostly pompano as you guys know. 10# braid and 20# leader. I know this guy was doing the same thing and was tying uni 2 uni and he keep on losing fish. I think his issue was that he's tying the knot wrong. I show him the FG knot and now he's able to catch 15# jacks without much trouble.

I bend hooks easy with this setup as well. If using the same setup but with uni knot, then it would break at that point.

You guys are right that when you are up to 50# braid and 80# leader odds are your hooks will bend or give up first. It will probably be something else before that braid to mono/fluro know.

Blue, if your braid is hollow, try looking up slicing that would be your best bet, if not just tie the FG knot. Once you get the hang of it, you'll tie it in less than 30 seconds. Also if your braid break before your mono topshot... there's something wrong with the braid there. If it's the knot then it sounds right. Uni 2 uni only work well if the topshot/leader is of greater breaking strength.

100lb leader doesn't go through those shark guides easily. U just use a short leader so don't gotta put it through a lot

I agree with whatever works and easy to tie. My set up is 50lb braid with 5ft of 40 or 60lb leader. Simple less failure.

I'm pure uni but out here in da land of fruits and nuts we use a RED PHILLIPS knot. All the benefits if a uni2uni but much smaller. So easy to tie Jarred won't need his machine and blue will tie one in under an hour. Behold the magic

Oh, I didn't know but now I know this vid was for me...thanks bro. I still felt sorry my 20LB mono roll was cut mysteriously after you made the knot to braid at the bridge...
I don't think you with utility belt alone will be enough... we also need the gaff to hold the other end of line...but gaff will be in use by GoPro user... and we will get a nasty yell by crew either we using for KG knot or someone else using for gopro...
So I am go back to PR knot...I had to find my bobbin that Jared told me throw away...

Was it AJ? It fights all the way...

Pat

I think it was 8 strand PP... But I think my momoi mono is too strong... It may not be 40#...
I like momoi bc it is very soft and very strong...

No way in hell I would do a half day work lol to get a damn knot whilst others are happily fishing in the meantime.

BTW you can tie a u2u that will fit thru a size 8 tip no problem even with 60# leader.
Won a lil contest at Dania BP where the host "Berkley" said tie a knot and we stress it to breaking point and meassure the lb it took to break.

Was like 10 guys n gals and they all skunked against a 8 turn well tied u2u. Won a hat and a x-rap ppffffttt

Blue those bobbins are a great tool for rod building especially working with color transitions and or inlays. F that PR knot


Nelson cool find :toast:

Still have the hat lol

KB,

Dont let these haters tell you different. Cudman man does the PR knot in 40sec. and when the boat was rocking 4ft to 6ft on our yuri trip he did it in 1min. tops. I was one of these guys lol at him when he brought out that $100 bobbin but when he did it that fast i said nothing. I cant do the PR knot in 1min but that just me and the rest cant either.- that doesnt mean you cant. :toast:

In under a minute? Good thing for you I'm not a betting man. Can't wait to see the contraption blue builds for tying the damn knot. And if I know him Phil's "gonna need a bigger boat"
