Andy- Flourocarbon to braid w/uni to uni knot. New Power Pro Slick 8 has gotten great reviews- Comes in green, brown, hi-vis yellow. Just ordered a spool to try after recommendation from my brother up North. Smallest diameter is 10/2. Also, I don't like to use snaps/swivels, but that would be a fix for the escape fix. There are some really tiny ones available.
