Get yourself a pair of Childsize Fiskar Scissors ... it will cut braid "blunt" (no frayed strands). Braid is, however, very limp and can be a bit difficult to poke thru the eyelets of small jigs ... but, less difficult when cut blunt by the Fiskar Scissors.

I tie an Improved Clinch in my braid .... slowly & steadily .... and haven't had the knot pull loose. If the braid is brand new &/or the slick version, I tie the Improved Clinch with a several inch tag ... then tie a double granny knot in the tag as close to the Improved Clinch as I can ... then pull on the main line, cinching down the Improved Clinch and letting the tag line slip thru it until the double granny knot snugs up to the Improved Clinch. Then I take my Fiskar Scissors and cut the rest of the tag line off.

(Note: double granny knot is simply a double overhand knot)
