Im new to using artificial bait and just want to know whats the best way to tie your leader line to ur main line.

I always use a swivel

Blood knot works fine. Twist lines together, open a space in the middle, run one free end thru opening, then same with the other in opposite direction. Albright knot may be considered easier by some. Try www.animatedknots.com for great visiual help.

thanks bhaby2 and sputterfuss

i agree with sputterfuss.

Thanks Joe G.

Uni to Uni knot is best.

I use an albright knot.

thanks LandPirate, Lrs.

Uni to Uni works great. If braid to flouro, then wrap the braid 7 to 8 times and the flouro 5 to 6 times, as the braid can slip with fewer wraps... Good luck

I always use a swivel or swivel snap. It's easy to change leaders later if necessary.

thanks z22 Shearwater and FL Fishlady

i always use a swivel!! but i also use braid and i dont like my line twisting up all the time so thats what the swivel is for!! then a quick swirl for easy lure change!!!!

thanks chronacast

This thread has changed my life! Thanks LP et. all who suggested uni2uni. Tried it and already liking it better than blood knot. As for swivels, they have their applications, I prefer not to use them when possible. Knot knowledge is a fading art, and I just like tying knots.
