Excellent knot to tie a braided type
line to mono
This example is 65# Power Pro to 50# Mono
The braided line is connected to the
pole and the mono will be your leader. Place the two side
by side.
Tie an over hand knot in the mono
around the braided line. Make sure the braided line runs
straight through the center of the knot.
Cinch the mono knot up real tight.
Make sure you have about six inches of the tag end of the
braided line protruding out the mono knot towards the leader
end.
Lay the knot over your finger and
form a "Y" with the mono leader end and the braided tag end.
Pinch the "Y" between your fingers
as shown. Tie off or have someone hold the mono leader so
it remains tight.
Add eleven overhand wraps around the
mono. Leave a small space between the wraps as shown.
Add another eleven overhand wraps
over the first wraps. Go in the opposite direction towards
the knot and fill the gaps left by the first wraps.
Move your fingers off the knot and
you should have a loop.
Place the tag end of the braided
line through the loop. As you tighten the knot up,
remember to always keep the mono line tight
.Moisten the entire knot. Pull the braided line ( line to
the pole) tight. As you do this, slide the wraps up
towards the knot so it all snugs up tight.
This is what you should end up with.
Cut off the two tag ends. Do not cut off the mono end too
short. Make sure the braided line is tight and under the
mono knot
