Knot wars app.... Thank me later. Run line parralell, Make a loop, run tags 4x thru loop and sinch down with saliva. That's either blood or uni. I forget but it's easy and bad arse. If I get hung up n break. It breaks the flouro leader 1/2 in below not erry time.

If you are putting lines together with two differing diameters, the uniknot is the best way to go. If done properly, no slippage.

Knot wars app helps a lot if the app is available like bgizzle said and I use what think is a blood knot. Strong and easy to tie

I use the uni to uni.....took me a while to get it right and have confidence in it. When tied right the line will beak at or above the lure before the knot slips.
