Need Some Knot Tying Help??

[TUMBLEWEED]

I am attaching some mono onto the
braided line on my Rattle Wheel.
Never connected a line to a line
before?? Need some help from some
of you old pros out there. Thanks

You could use a uni-to-uni knot on your line.
But eventualy the the braided will cut into the mono. My first Choice would be to use the smallest bearing swivel you can get by with and use the palomar knot to connect both ends of the line to it. The first time you try you might not get it right. Just try it again but tieing the opposite line first then the one you tied before.

I use a small swivel to connect mono to braided. Never had any problems.

I use a nail knot to attach my fly-line to my braided backing, and another to attach my leader to my fly line when fly fising. I think that would work for mono to braided.

Don't know why I didn't think of a swivel
myself....Thanks

At the risk of sounding like a smartass... buy a book. One of the best investments I've ever made. You wouldn't believe some of the rigs you think of while practicing!

Tumbleweed,

E-mail me and I can send you a couple of good images of the type of knot you would be looking for.

Wow, Thanks for all the help everybody!!
This site never ceases to to amaze me.
Since I look at very small electronic
components at my job, I have become VERY
far-sighted and have a hard time even
getting the blasted line through the eye
of a hook. At work I use a magnifier
visor, which I think has lead to the problem.
So no playing around with practicing knot
tying for me!! I opted for the swivel and
improved trilene knot rig. Thanks again!!
