Forgot to mention.......used the "improved clinch" knot or what I call the double clinch knot. Never had any problems with this......and I use the to tie:

1. braid to regular backing line

2. braid to swivels

Well its the knot I use 100 % of the time.

Works for me, if I get the tag end thur both loops, wet the line, and slowly pull it tight.

FYI, just for clarification, the uni-knot and nail-knot are one and the same. The nail-method may have come first, but the uni-method is far more clever and much easier to tie.

The guy who invented it must have dropped his nail into the river...WOOPS!

i use to work at a sporting shop and all we used was a uni to uni and these guys where fish marlin tuna and everything in blue water and not once did we have a person come in and say that the not failed but we also put a little super glue on the not when finished for that way there was no way to come undone
