FG for everything unless I bust off then it's slim beauty. Can't tie an FG on the water impatient to get a lure or live bait back out

Re: Double uni .. Braid to me mono
same here I have moved from the S/beauty to the FG for my braid to leader - after you tie a few they become quite easy and quick to tie even on the water and in a kayakmazman wrote:I just use the FG now, used to use the slim beauty but don't tie it regularly and forget how to do it, so i just tie an FG.
so should be easy in a boat to tie
both knot strength and the ease the FG goes through the guides keeps me using them

Re: Double uni .. Braid to me mono
The FG knot is for braid to mono from what I understand, but the double uni would be better for mono to mono, is this correct ?

I have used a double uni for braid to mono for a long time without any problems.
If you use a heavy leader the knot may be a little large on the leader side.
It's the first knot I learned and I've stuck with it. Never lost a fish due to the Uni to Uni knot failing.

Re: Double uni .. Braid to me mono
I'll give the double uni a go, trail and error for me, if I have trouble with it through the guides I'll just try another knot.. :thumbsup:
