Thread: Braid to mono leader

How many turns do you typically use for this knot?

Ive tried it on a few leader connections the last couple days and had great luck, its the smallest knot I’ve tried yet, I quite like it.

Until today, using the .15 PE braid I just got it, it is super fine diameter, I’m guessing .001- .0015.

I went up to 10 turns and this thin braid just slipped right out.

Using 4lb (.004 diameter) nylon mono as leader.

Knot works great with the polyester mono, .2 and .3 size PE braid, nanofil, and suffix 2lb nanobraid, just not my newest .15 PE braid.

I use 7 turns up and another 7 turns back to the loop. I wet the lines and slowly pull it together. When snugging it down be careful that it doesn't try roll over itself. After it's snugg I pull hard on each of the four sections and then trim two tag ends. Never tied something as small diameter as you have there.

Well good grief Charlie Brown.

I just now realized I’m supposed to wrap it back up!

I missed that in the diagram.

I’ll give that a try tomorrow... wonder how what I’ve been tying is holding at all then...
