Nail knot
Tie a nail knot around the braid with the mono but do not tighten (they sell a tool to do this). With the braid tie a half hitch around the mono and tighten tight. Grabbing the half hitch, pull the mono until the nail knot is against the half hitch then tighten. Clip the tags very short. This retains 100% of the line strength and passes easily through the guides. Although this sounds complicated, it is very easy. Even an old man like me can do it.
