Pull on both lines to tighten the knot, jamming the wraps together.

Since knots always create a load bearing weak point in the line, the purpose of a knot is to minimize the weakness that it causes so that the breaking point can be as close as possible to the actual strength of the line… this modified double uni knot for braid does a great job at spreading the tension load resulting in a higher breaking point than most other knots (while still being slightly weaker than the actual strength of the line).I have tried this 100 times. There is a limit to diameter difference and as a rough guide 50% line diameter difference is about the limit. Knot Tips: When tying fishing knots always. An arbor knot is a basic knot that’s great for attaching fishing reel to spools. What is your reason for not recommending it?My apologies… I rarely get braid to braid questions so my mind automatically assumed the most common question I get (braid to fluoro).

Wrap the PowerPro around the mono 10 to 12 times, leaving your loop open and opposite the mono tag end. use an Arbor knot to tie mono to the spool.
Are you saying that the knot will break before the coils slide off when you’re using it on braid to braid?What do you think about using an alberto knot to connect braid to braid?Fishing line that is rated at 10 lbs can have a 20 lb breaking point because the “listed strength” is often much lower than the “actual strength” to ensure any blemish points are still at least 10 lbs. These have either a non-slip surface or the braid is attached through a hole in the spool. Most manufacturers of spinning reels made for use with braid are aware of the importance of line lay and have designed the rotor and line roller to fill the spool evenly from top to bottom with braid of a specified diameter.
