I'm respooling several rods with braid and was wondering what kind of knot yall prefer to connect it to the mono line I use for backing?
I normally use a blood knot but was thinking there may be an easier knot to tie and one that would be a little less bulky?

My Day 2 Pro Koby Kreiger at Rayburn used a small Swivel on his dropshot and it worked great for him yesterday.
I have always used straight flouro but I will be changing to braid with a leader myself.

JC Outdoors,
Did he use the swivel to connect the braid to the leader?
Thanks

I tie a double uni to connect braid to floro,,
But just for backing I just tie a shoe string knott...
I hope I don't get down to that knot...
And it's real small...

I've used a swivel on a drop shot, it cuts line twist down on a spin rig. Tie a descent length of fluro on, and rig the ds like usual
